Programming

[Kibeth[CotC]]

So, I signed up for a computer class for school next year, its a Java/Visual Basic class, and I was wondering if any of you guys have experience with Java programming or the like. I know a few of you work with computers, but I didn't know in what field.

I don't need to have any skill before I go into the class or anything, I would just personally enjoy having an edge over everybody else. I'm the smartest kid in all my academic classes but in computers I'm not as prominent.

If anybody can teach me how to some basic RNG or anything like that through Java, I'd really appreciate it, but if not, it's not like i require it, it'd just be fun. Thanks in advance.

There are a number of programmers in the clan; my background
is C++, but I have been working in Java for the past year or so.

My best advice is that you don't need to wait for your class to
learn java. Start here:
http://java.sun.com/
This website has links to self-teaching courses, discussion groups,
tutorials, etc.
You can also look around the net and find lots of java discussion pages.


From java.sun.com, click to the download pages. Get the latest j2se jdk
and jre. Now you can compile and execute java applications and applets
from the command line prompt.

I am not sure what basic RNG is, maybe someone else is familiar with this term.

I've mastered Visual Basic pretty well, next year I'm gonna do C++ and some java next year, but I've used some basic java a little while back.

Sweet guys, thanx for the input. Data, you rock ^^. RNG is just a random number generator, from what I've heard they are one of the easiest things to do. Ill go to the site and check it out.

Sweet DARK, I just noticed your signature tag:

"Try not. Do, or do not, there is no try"

The Master, Episode 5, on the jungle planet of Deghoba. I used that for years as my sig when we started CotC, also that and "beware the dark path..."

Cool.

Now that's a coincidence sweet

Versed you are in the ways of the force.

wouldnt it be "versed in the way of the force,you are!" lol go go Yoda!

[D.A.R.K.[CotC]]

I was contemplating those two ways on how to say it.

I guess both are acceptable in the eye's of great Master Yoda.
