Excellent work, Aldo. now tell me how you survived Java. After C++, Java is making me want to scoop out my own eyes with stick of RAM.

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..........

[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.

no you're not

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!

60% of Java development time is taken up looking through the API documents. Trust me, I know.

Only 60%? You must know them quite well

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.

GONGRATULATIONS ALDO!!

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...
