Title: Ya fecking beauty!
Post by: aldo_14 on June 23, 2003, 05:46:12 pm: Passed - no, destroyed - my exams...... which means I'm technically a BSc now, even if I screw up my honours year.

I'm in a very good mood :)

Three bonus points for telling me what the J stands for.

Not exactly... I need to complete next year to get an honours degree. I'm doing Computer Science, BTW.

I thought java was pretty easy.... I'm just about to start learning C++ (got the Stroustrup book from the library), and it looks pretty similar. Unless you're referring to the problem of trying to actually optimise java..........

Post by: Martinus on June 24, 2003, 10:42:37 pm: [color=66ff00]I was under the impression that the words JAVA and optimise were never to be used in any phrase together unless the words 'impossible', 'don't be stupid', or 'go learn C' were included.

I may just be being cynical though. ;)

Post by: Liberator on June 25, 2003, 01:48:45 am: I am taking JAVA now, it's not hard, it's just complicated and the book doesn't help because it tries to tell how to do something everyway it can be done at once.

There's this woman in my class that has never had another language before this and is going for C++ next. Oi!

Ah, see, I'm coming from C++ to Java, not the other way around. There's nothing specifically difficult about Java, its just all the little differences between it and C++ that drive you bat**** nuts. Stuff like bondage-and-discipline typed booleans. "0x00000000 is false, everything else is true" is a good mechanic, and one they shouldn't have screwed with.

Now, if I could take Java's single-inheritence+interfaces and use them in C++ I'd be happy as hell. :D

Whats the prob with VB, as I know it you need a whole book as a reference just to add GUI components to a JAVA applet and thus the performance just doesn't budge either... I think creating objects from scratch might be good for security assuming the use of 'privatism' in the script but C/C++ is just as good if not less time consuming...
