I've Seen the Light

When I first learned to program, I learned in C++.  It was a pretty daunting task, but I grew to love the language.  I grew very familiar with it, and soon I started to learn other languages.  I learned some Python, OCaml, Ruby, etc., but I still felt that C++ was my favorite.  Granted, each language has its advantages and disadvantages, but I became quite a bit of a fanboy.  Then I started to learn Java.

I was very hesitant at first.  "This is a cheap ripoff of C++, this sucks!"  I tried not to like it, but the more and more I worked with it, the more I grew to appreciate all of its features.  Automatic garbage collection, great class hierarchy, and a plethora of libraries full of methods (still getting used to calling things "methods" instead of "functions").  Add to the mix the awesome Eclipse IDE, and you have such a great development environment, you're ready to start making some sweet programs.  I know this may be a bit confusing to people who don't know anything about programming, but I should be posting some How-To's in a few days, so stay tuned!  Until then, I'm going to keep working with this bad boy, and maybe crank out a few Android Apps while I'm at it.  But that's probably a bit ambitious.
