They're still useful though. Like for doing school projects and stuff. Not for anything recent though.

You claimed your site had free books, yet your popular books are not free. Please be a little more informative next time rather than baiting users to your site. No one likes a spammer. It's obvious...

The Web Site Promotion section shows you how to promote. It's for strategies. There's also a section underneath if you want to get your web site critiqued. It is NOT for shameless plugs, which some...

Not a bad resource, but a lot of the books are outdated. While browsing, I did not find anything new or "most popular" as you put it. Just my opinion. I'll let the users here decide. It's still a...

What game are you creating? Why Java?

Yes. Check out the Java API docs for String:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/String.html

The whole J2SE API:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/

The String tokenizer doesn't have a method to remove tokens. If you have a string like "the fish was eaten by the cat" rather than going through the overhead of creating more objects, just use the...

NetBeans is good, but any GUI designed in Java is just too slow for me.

Yeah JCreator is awesome. The only thing I don't like is that the free version of JCreator didn't have tag insight like JBuilder. The GUI on JBuilder is so slow I wanna shoot myself every time I do...

But a while is a loop. This is a Harvard teacher?

Then the teacher is whacked.

I don't see how someone can tell you to write something efficient without a loop (in this language anyways). Another way to do it besides recursion is to create a label and jump to it if your...

I think for serious Java development, you should go for JBuilder. The features are just overwhelming. If you're starting to learn Java and are writing small programs (maybe for school) you'll want a...

Seems like charAt() would work. Can you paste the code? Also, how are you looping through the string? There must be a reason why it's not working, so maybe you can show us the code to see what's...

Yeah, I guess it does look a little bit like it, but a lot of editors have the same look. I really like it because it's fast. JBuilder is just so slow in my opinion. I don't think Java does a good...

I think you'd have a better chance of knowing (or finding out) what's on the AP exam than I would, since you're still in High School I take it. You can ask one of your teachers. I took the AP exam in...

Do you have any other programming experience? I might be able to make a better recommendation if you tell me how much experience you have. Also, if you are starting out with Java, I recommend you not...

That's right, sucka.

Whoa, excellent use of language. That paragraph you just wrote reminds me of something I see in law books. ;)

I meant it as a joke. There were no hidden meanings, methaphors, etc. Enough said. If...

Whoa, you're making it seem like I used the word "Mafia" in good terms. Where did you get THAT idea? Romantic? Glamorous? Honorable? No idea where you got that from (from eight words that didn't even...

So it's a misused word? Is that what you're saying?

Yeah... Pauly... you're in the mafia, aren't you? ;)

Hey Pauly. :)

Then definitely go with Java. It's perfect for the web envirnonment. It's gotten a bad rap from it's applets that have been coded by poor programmers, but it's a good language to do other tasks such...

This depends what you'd like to program for and what your target audience is. C++ and Java almost have the same learning curve to an extend - C++ is easier to pick up yet harder in the long run when...

Don't you mean "expert"? ;)

It makes no difference to me where you put it. =) You could've put it in under "Modding Cases" if you wanted, but then Dani might have a fit...lol ;)

Programming 3D in Java is neat. Although I'm still speculating... I'm thinking of starting a game, and at work they're stressing that I use Flash (I work with web developers), but I have a stronger...

Yeap, definitely. Java 3D is a set of classes that makes programming in 3D environment a lot easier. Similar to OpenGL, DirectX, and MFC. You don't necessarily need to know how Java3D works in every...

In doubt if Java is capable of handling 3D environments? Check this out:

Looks pretty spiffy, but I don't think I'll be able to look at that any time soon. Next year I will be entering a Web Design contest at my university and maybe I can put some of these things to use....

I have a thing for wearing computer related T-shirts. Makes me feel like like I'm too much of a computer freak and need to get out more, which I probably do anyways... ;)

I think if there was more hype on it, it would become more popular. Maybe if Microsoft and AOL advertised it, and supported it, and made T-shirts, then I'm sure it would pick up. I would have to...

I agree with you on being ahead of its time. The web has become such a place for business and quick information that there's hardly any room for something like VRML. Because Flash and Java are...

Yeap, it's cool, although VRML is no longer supported by popular browsers by default. A shame the popularity is low considering what you can do with it.

It can be integrated with VRML. Check out these resources:

Well, that programming that you learn at school, especially the first/second course you take is just to master the basics. It takes a while to master it. Some people think that because they know a...

If I do help you (it would never be for a program like this), then you'd be one of them. Just let it go man. Half of these people are little pubeless 14 year olds who have nothing to do but stuff...
