Learning Java
January 23, 2007
Well, the semester's began and I need a new time-killer while on campus. This semester, rather than continuing with Ruby on Rails like have been in the past, I'm going to begin embarking down the Java path. It would appear as though Java is /still/ somehow managing to be the programming language of choice in professional-land. NetBeans looks quite interesting as well...
Wish me luck.

nice! I actually downloaded NetBeans, because I was curious and have been interested in Java for a while now as well. I'm sure you will be moving along in much bigger strides than I have.

David; Perhaps. Heh. Though you have the motivation of being able to be promoted in your current workplace as I'm sure that large chunks of your internal code are Java.

no java at work - all .net/c#, etc

Wow. Though, I suppose considering that the development model isn't exactly centered on quality software. ;p~

btw; I thought you were learning Ruby? Whatever happened to that?

Ok, so that comment may have been a little harsh. I was more referring to the 'external' software than the internal. I'm sure that your guys' internal software has to be up to snuff.

lol, no worries. both is probably true. Our external software is outsourced a lot anyway. Those Ukrainians got some skillz. As far as Ruby goes - I mastered it - NEXT! :P

david, I will have Evan grill you later. He will teach you new worlds of intellectual pain and object abstraction.
Also, http://themes.wordpress.net/testrun/?wptheme=1418 someone beat you to your idea!
Also, Ukraine? Interesting... In Soviet Ukraine you do not pay programmers, programmers pay you!

That wordpress theme is not exactly what I had in mind, but it's pretty dang cool nonetheless :)

In Soviet Russia, you do not program open source. Open source programs you!
