Yep, it is an easy transfer from C++.
It suffers in speed a little, but keeps things a little cleaner. The absolute best part is definitely the API. What a Godsend. Respectfully, Demosthenes |

I've fiddled around with Java a bit. It is a good programming language to know. Logical and powerful.

It's gettting huge acceptance... its now being taught at highschools replacing C++ (unfortunately in my opinion). I think there needs to be a lot of changes to it before I respect it. First and foremost a COMPLETE native code compiler. Decent for small projects. A nice alternative to flash. A great intro to TRUE Object Oriented Programming.

That might resolve some speed issues, but part of the glory of Java is its complete portability and independence. Yeah, I know, in an MS world, who needs that? Still, I do agree with you, it would be nice.

Portability? why not use a portable framework- wxWindows, FLTK, to name a few (free, complete ones)? You can't really do that in JAVA- well unless you supply all your users with that library.

im a first year student graduate IT. w get c,c++ and java at the same time(even a little qbasic). its really handy to learn the entire evolution a bit. we only just started with java (make a little 'hello' box on opening a page or so) can someone point me to some 'example' exercises or simple explanation?
thanks in advance |

TMAN:
Even if you use a protable framework, after compiling, your program will work only on one OS, if you compile for Windows, the user should have Windows installed, when using Java, only the free 10MB JRE is needed. grasshopperbe Check out the Java tutorial ( http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ ), it starts with something similar. |

very little stops one from recompiling or using a cross compiler to create an executable on a target platform with a cross platform API.
As for just needing the JRE... well that's all well and good unless you're targeting a VM version thats newer than your users runtime. IMO making the user update is a forced hassle. But you're right. To reach as many people as possible JAVA is one of the best solutions. |

Is there really any cross platform API that includes GUI, networking, and database access?
Thanks in advance. |

Great Java site. Yeah, at my HS next year the AP CompSci course is changing from C++ to Java. |
