Don't do it! It'll eat your soul! Honestly, I hate java, I learned it at school and really hated its methods (don't know why). I tried using the java forums and got flamed for asking if there was an easy access clear screen function in java. You'd be surprised how mad people get when you tell them google didn't work and you'd like some more assistance. ------------------ |

Java's a good beginner language, but can get frusterating at times. good luck. ------------------ |

lol... that's the truth. especially if they go hand-in-hand like C++ and Python, which are the ones i'm learning. you can put python scripts in C++ code, and i think you can put C++ code into python scripts. ------------------

One very nice thing about Java is that it should give you a very good base for organizing your future programming in solid object-oriented structure -- I've had a really hard time learning how to do that well since I started with procedural programming (C), not enforced OOP (such as Java or C#). Very glad to hear it, RM! I look forward to updates during/after camp! --clint |

Java's ok... I use J2ME for mobile phone games. But it does create some bad practices in the case of memory management. I have issues with people who know java, and when they move to C/C++ winge about not having a "garbage collect" and managing their memory. Anywho, good luck, where's jedi luke?? :P hehe... was expecting something from luke :P May the Java be with you... ------------------ |

I'd have to once again agree with Han... Java is great for learning Object-Oriented Design. in that sense it's especially great as a first language, since there is a ton of safety features, along with a solid OOP layout. also, strangely enough, another thing that helped me with OOP was GameMaker. ------------------ |

Java is a Great Intro language; and in my opinion is very powerful when you start learning how to use some of the 'system' classes (Swing etc) The biggest difference between Java and C++ (asides from syntax) is that the JVM takes care of memory and cleans up after you, its just like mommy . C++ is no such thing +D ------------------ |
