What is your view of Java?
What IDE's would you recomend?
Thanks.

Thanks alot to all.

I want to see if the Write Once Run Anywhere Pardigmn is any good.
I would like to make applications that could run in a browser or be stand alone.  I understand that Java has this ability.
I know that Python is abit portable (if it has been ported the platform of choice) and I do not know if C# is a Msoft only idea.

I do not know much about C++ portability, care to elaborate?

In the end I would like to write software for the Amiga/Aros platform and may do it from another machine.

Good day.

I wish I had a book on Zune/Mui.
I have downloaded the muldev.lha but still need to finish my c++.
I do have ami dev cpp but have not used it yet.
Thanks.

I admit I am not completely decided on what to do.
I will do my best to learn both c++ and Java.
I do not guess it will hurt to learn one and then the other.
I have not gotten deep enough into Java to see the complete difference its point of view of OOP is to C++.
I believe it should not be too difficult to use both when the differences are known.  I say not in the same prog. of course. :-D
edit:
check this out.

Something that interested me in learning Java is a project called YADRA.  It is Yet Another Distributed Render Application.  It uses Java to pass the files around from Master to Slave.

While on the Render subject there is also a project that uses HTTP to do the work.  One difference is that you download a script for master and then a script for client.  It has different requirements and one is it does not need Java.
