Java programming.

I've been considering learning it. Lots of great info, cross-platform and popular. What is to not like about that?

Another thing is that AFAIK pointer arithmetic isn't really taught in Java (I take it memory management/"garbage collection" is done automatically by the JVM? ).
I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to transition to something like C++ from Java, though, seeing as how Java is totally object-oriented (I believe even basic data types, e.g. int, char, float, etc. are considered objects with members). Don't quote me on that, though, as I've never programmed in Java myself.
Either way, I think it's cool that you're learning a programming language at all...are you learning online, or are you planning on taking courses in school? (You had mentioned this in that ancient tome-of-a-thread called "What are you doing now?". )Posted 02-07-2011 at 03:08 PM by MrCode -
Java = software patent encumbered. (for all practical purposes, unless your a good friend of Larry Ellison.)
I have lived on the Texas coast for a bit of time, and I have yet to hear of Oklahoma having a real hurricane that made it that far.Posted 02-07-2011 at 05:28 PM by peonuser
