JAVA is kinda fun. I have played around with J2SE and J2EE for about 5 months. But with the 6 years of C and C++ under
my belt java was simple to use. I find it really nice with the memory management so i dont' have worry about the
correct format of the destructor and mess up my entire algorithm. Also i find it really easy to utilize multithread
programs to speed everything up. Working with mutlithreads in c++ was a bitch. The memory sharing in java is really
nice to make things easier. I find it really hard to find a good language specific teaching manual. My best profs used
language neutral books and then gave us a second book that was purely reference. So once we learned what the logic was
we needed, all we had to do was look up anythign we didn't understand how to do in java, or c, c++, perl, lisp,
php, c# what have you.
