I know we used to have a few programmers around here. Here's an open forum to discuss languages, theory, and whatever else relates.

 

Spin's languages used:

 

COBOL (Host mainframe programmer by profession these days)

JCL

C/C++

C# .NET

Java (J2EE)

Perl

VB .NET

unix shell

etc...

 

Latest Interests:

unix based systems programming (I'd like to so some kernel dev if I can find some more time)

perl utilities (just implementing some random "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if..." thoughts.)

fucking around with Python some more (Never done any real programming with it)

Howdy. I just started a Bachelor in Electrical and Electronic Engineering a week ago, and Computer Science is one of my subjects. As a result, I'm learning to program Java this Semester, so this topic would be a good start to grab any information on programming that would let me pick it up quicker. Would you say it's a relatively easy language to learn?

I'm working professionally as a Java developer so feel free to ask me anything about Java. Java is easier compared to some of the preceding languages. For instance you don't have to worry about memory management in Java.

*nix scripter and ....Sooooorta kernel dev here. I have played around with it a little bit. Top with quiet a few dev languages, even Assembly

 

 

Like the new bitch'n forum theme btw.

 

(btw its sephiroth from ye olde JoH D= Dont hate me!)

Python(shitty)

 

+1

 

Also starting Comp Sci this year, but I've already done some C/C++, HTML, FlashScript, Basic and know some basic shell commands, so I'm predicting I'm not going to be learning anything new until halfway through the semester.

FORTRAN is the only one I feel comfortable using for anything serious at the moment. I'm halfway through my C class and have gone through the intro to MATLAB.

I'll be taking HTML, JAVA and C++ next semester. Can't wait to be honest. All I've used so far are retarded. Plus they've been supplying us with retarded compilers. Meh.

 

P.S. Spin, I might need your help on some compiler issues with C in a couple of weeks. If you have xFire or msn it would make it that much easier.

I think I still have an MSN account out there somewhere. Just let me know.

C++ is good, C sharp is better. Java is still retarded, the object based crap makes it so much more confusing. As to compilers, the compiler we've been using for Java is Sun's javac compiler. It's shit slow, even though the error messages are nice and extensive and explanatory. Anyone got a better one?

Try Eclipse

The more programming you do, the more you'll find that object oriented programming is phenomenal. C# are Java are both object based, fyi. C++ has extensive OO features, but also allows for pure procedural programs as well. I still prefer C++, due to sheer amount of control I have with memory. In my opinion, garbage collection is a nice feature, but I don't think that programmers should be so reliant on it from such an early age.

 

Also, use eclipse for a Java IDE.

Most of what I've done is C and Java. I like the control C gives you (memory management etc) but OO languages like Java make certain things a LOT easier, just so long as you understand whats going on under the hood. I will say this, exception handling is a pain in the ass (IMO).
