i already have somewhat of a background in C++, and im learning javascript right now... do u guys have any recommendations on a good way to learn Java?
 
thanks, i just looked it over.... looks like it could be very useful.. i appreciate it buddy... need to add it to my favorites list and ill be all set


thanks again
 
i was suppose to take it last year, but i decided to drop the class... i had 5 already and i didnt want to put too much on my shoulders my first semester... so im gonna give it a go next semester
 
Still crazy. I stick to four classes a quarter. I did take five, once, but it was a pretty easy quarter.
 
yeah... i know what ya mean... its all good



im only taking 4 classes this semester too, but ive got 17 credits... not too bad if ya ask me :D
 
Actually, in all fairness, Java is pretty much ONLY pointers.

(Hence, to create a new class, you MUST allocate using "new" and you do have to check for null).

If you already know C++, download the Java SDK, decompress the zipped src files and look at the code for all the classes. Those will give you more info than any book.

Yeah, except for the primitives. But it's simpler, since you don't have to do garbage collection.

Yeah, for the most part, the fact that everything's a pointer (or reference as Java calls it) is pretty much transparent. Usually, you can just forget that it's a reference. This can also be a problem, though, because people sometimes forget that when they call a function, they're not actually passing in objects, but references to objects. It can lead to an oops.
