Why don't you just learn the damn language?

bring the joptionpain brah

[baseline bum]

Just read the Core Java books by Horstmann. Easy language to pick up if you have done OOP before.

What do you hate about Java nigga?

- even with JIT, performance lags compared to compiled languages.
- poor/broken runtime (lol the Date/Calendar classes, go take a peek at stack overflow. Still broken as of Java 7)
- UI portability is BS. The UI might look native in Windows, but you move the exact same app to a Mac, and it looks like shit.
- class overrides within some lambda hackery => spaghetti code
- garbage collection another performance hit, unless you manually manage collection (at which point having a garbage collector is fucking retarded)

C# actually shares some of those traits (see: garbage collection). But at least the runtime works, and LINQ let's you do powerful single-liners.

At least knowing Java made learning C# a breeze. But I agree with Elnono.

Another reason to hate Java: Oracle

Oracle Now Bundling Ask.com Adware With Java for Mac

For years, Oracle has been bundling an Ask.com search toolbar with Java for Windows, relying on what some call deceptive methods to get users to install the add-on to their browsers. Now, the company has extended its adware strategy to Java for Mac, according to ZDNet.

I paid an Indian boy. He scored 88 outta 100. Not worth it. Will study next time

Anyone know of some good online tutorials for java?

Nothing specific. There are countless sites. I used filesloop.com to download my textbook. I can email you a digital copy if you like.

Hortsmann & Savitch make great Java books

Lol programming language smack talk

Java was a fundamental language and there would be no c# and other languages without it. It also bought the multiplatform model that everyone copies from.

That being said. Java is antequated now and Java apps do tend to be sluggish.

But Java was revolutionary make no mistake about it

:cry The keyword here for everything from the 90s :cry

Java always has been a dumbed down C++ with a rich set of built-in libraries. It's design was influenced by a lot of languages (ie: the interface stuff is a direct ripoff of protocol in Obj-C).

In that sense, it certainly removed a bunch of nuisances that made C++ tedious or complicated for beginners. Header files, pointers, templates, cross-compilation, etc.

C# would've happened anyways. It was designed by the Borland Turbo Pascal original designer, and it's underpinnings are closer to C++. It was more of a cross-breed of C++ and Visual Basic, tbh.

It certainly borrowed from other languages like Java, but later iterations of Java borrowed heavily from C# also.

question about programming

what is the most common used language in the industry atm?

do you really need to learn all the languages?

Latest RedMonk survey:

You don't need to learn all the languages, no. A lot of them are fairly similar, once you understand the core concepts.
Knowing more languages does open more opportunities though.
