great list ...
but i need to know what is the best compiler ever for java ?

Post by **Lundis** » 20 May 2009, 13:48

In my experience, the sun JDK is the best one. There's also the GNU java compiler, but it can't compile GUI applications properly (unless they've done some serious hacking since last time I tried it ^^)

On another note, I noticed "Bloodshed Dev-C++" is on the list. That's not a compiler, it's an IDE and it uses gcc for compiling. Geany is also an IDE...

yeah, I would also recommend the Sun Java Development Kit, you will need the runtime environment anyway...and when getting both in the same package the chances of compatibility problems are about zero. I would just stay away from Netbeans, IDEs suck imo....

some people advised me to use Eclipse ... is that good to use ???

Post by **bad_brain** » 22 May 2009, 08:27

well, such IDEs make sense if you code a lot and also use the same code snippets repeatedly , then it's more comfy. but for beginners I wouldn't recommend it before you are not really fit with coding Java "by hand"...

okay then ,thx for your advise bad brain

i have just started with programing n i began with java
most of the people tell me that java is the strongest programing lang. i ll ever see ... so can you tell me what are its advantages ???

Post by **bad_brain** » 23 May 2009, 05:30

well, the main advantage of Java compared to C++ for example is its portability...you code it on a Linux box and the code also runs on a Windows system (or vice versa).
it is well documented, and in the future Java will become more important for professional and enterprise issues I guess, now that Oracle bought Sun.

the disadvantage is that Java code is not the fastest.

well as a noob that i am, my question could be a little bit or even too disapointing. but the earlier that i ask the bether that i feel. I just bought a c++ programming text book. the stuffs that am seeing is not making any sense to me, codes i guess. are those codes the stuff that am going to use to programm my dream simulators and games. if yes, then i need a shortcut cos i dont know if i av the time for all those pages like 700pages. please am ready to learn. thanx

never ask for fishes but alway ask for hooks.

begin with the basics, threat.
like variables and loops, those are the essence of pretty every programming language...

If u want to begin with a good C++ book then I suggest C++ Primer by Stanley B. Lippman; Josée Lajoie; Barbara E. Moo. Published by Addison-Wesley Professional. It's real good. I am talking from personal experience. Check it out.
