| Okay, I can understand some confusion over the title. I am thinking about taking a Java class in school next year, and I was wondering what some real life applications there are for it careerwise. I'm a complete n00b when it comes to this kind of thing. Thus, any advice here would be great. |

Do you plan on taking a advanced course? Do you know anything about programing? I suggest start researching a looking over code this summer or before you go back. |

| Java is your language if you want easy portibility. If you are going to be writing applications for multiple platforms, then Java is a language that will take care of that for you. If you write stuff in C/C++, then just because it runs on an x86 machine (i.e. windows), doesn't mean it will run on a unix machine or a mac. From a programmers point of view, it is another language you can learn to add to your list of languages you can program in--thus, providing you with a few more opportunities in jobs that are out there. Java is my primary language of choice but I can program in C, C++, C#, a few dialects of LISP, Visual Basic, and BASIC itself. People say Java is slow, but I say in what sense? Garbage collection is your friend and is the interpretation of Java byte code instead of feeding it straight into the machine that much of a difference. In short, Java is a good class to take if you are serious about majoring in Computer Science because the more languages you know, the better opportunities of jobs there will be out there. |

| Also, Java is probably the best way to learn object oriented programming the CORRECT way... Visual basic is object oriented, yet it has almost nothing in common with other languages... |
