What course would that be, are you in high school? If you are maybe it's AP Computer Science A? I took that last year taking AB next year.

How was Thailand?

You don't know my question?

'Lo there, and welcome to the club. I'm 16 - currently learning Delphi in school, and a shitload of other languages outside it.

Hey. Welcome to the forums. And boy do I hate programming.

Just kidding, of course. I do like Java, personally.

Welcome to the forums. I started to program at 16 in college using Pascal and although I did a bit of VB6 I didn't really take advantage of the time I had. I feel that if I learned more languages at the time, I would be so much better at programming than I am now. As a result, I'm playing catch-up with many people the same age as me at university. You all seem to have done the right thing in doing as much as you can early on - I hope you're all successful in whatever you do in computing.

As for Java, I have nearly two years worth of experience with it and it's far from my favourite language. Even though it is platform independent due to the virtual machine, the VM makes larger applications that you create visibly slower. The API is very verbose and if it wasn't for copy and paste, you would be doing way too much typing. As an example, to output something on the command prompt or shell (depending on the OS you use) you type 'System.out.println'. This can get tedious when typing a long program. In C++, all you need to type is 'cout'.

Despite those problems, it is still a good language for learning and I'd recommend it if you were just starting in this field. After Java though, you might want to look at the likes of C#, VB.NET and C++. The similarities in the syntax and APIs are quite noticeable.

Pimp Daddy, if you take advantage of Java the way you should, you can print out a String by just typing

out(someString);

or

pint(someString);

Java is probably the most OOP langiage that exists, and if it is taken advantage of, the right way, it will do basically anything you want easily and quickly, and without much typing. Buthten you would need to know how to take advantage of it. I guess I started out going super object-oriented, I divided even teh simpelst program into tens of methods and a at least a few classes. My teacher always asked how my program worked since everyone else in the class did as little OOP as they could. Now it appears this habit is very useful, I am continuaously eveloping a package of classes that i need constantly, and with an import here and an import there, I don't need the System.out.println, JOptionPane.showMessageDialogue, or any of those long method calls again!

That's real OOP for ya!

No one has answered my question yet!!!

and Benoit, how was it in Thailand?
