Java

[Henskie]

Hey I am starting to take a course on the object oriented design portion of Java and I was wondering what you all think of Java as a programming language

Java = Waste of time
Learn Perl or C++ =D

 

[Henskie]

It is a class so I dont really have a choice lol. So far I dont really like it

I'm curious, I'm about to choose my courses for the upcoming semester, and I have a list of classes that all look the same, but I don't know what to take.

* ICT 12: A+ Cert. 12
* ICTM 12: Web Design 12
* ICTP 12: Java Prog. 12
* ICTS 12: CISCO 12

Which one should I take?

 

[The Midnighter]

* ICT 12: A+ Cert. 12 This is a Hardware class, you'll learn how to operate / manufacture PCs as a whole, including installing / removing hardware, etc. If you specalize in this you go into CETN (Circuits and the like)
* ICTM 12: Web Design 12 This is... obvious.
* ICTP 12: Java Prog. 12 Java programming. Java is the devil.
* ICTS 12: CISCO 12(Yay, red again) THis is Networking - It's a difficult course, because it is self taught and your tests are online. Don't expect much help from your instructor.

Wow TM are you a CSE major or something? If so I'm one as well

 

[The Midnighter]

Java = Waste of time

¬_______¬

Java, compared to C++, is a bit slower and requires more system resources, that is true. But, Java also has:

a. automated garbage removal. No more destructors and accounting for every pointer, yay!
b. lots of ways to finally deal with strings without tearing your hairs out
c. an easier way to create window-based (note: NOT Windows) applications


Oh, and Java is also platform-independent. In your face, C++!

But all competent computer science students know that Real Men(tm) code in Assembly. MVI B, 66H anyone?
