Learned when it was still kinda new.
Graphic applets got replaced by shockwave/flash.
If you know C++, this will come naturally.
Both are object-oriented, and the syntax is simillair.

Yeah my TA often relates things to C++ which I never learned so it doesn't help, lol.

The last programming language I learned was QBASIC which I taught myself in 5th grade, lol

Oh boy, then you got some learning to do.
Are you using an IDE or you writing free hand then test compiling?

If you're doing simple stuff. I'd used Textpad.
If you're into more advanced stuff, get a cracked version of Borland.

It's mostly intro stuff, I do use textpad - our professor recommended it.

He gives us the pseudo code and we write and test compile from there.

Awesome. I'll be using that - I searched a bunch of times for sites when I ran into problems

Don't let anyone fool you with oop. It's still a procedural world and you can still think of procedures and sub procedures. OOP is more of a theory of design and packaging than anything. Think of modular construction and you have the basic principle.

Java: How to Program by deitela nd deitel is a good intro book as is Thinking in Java.

Business management. I've always been a computer so I take some computer science classes as extras. This is mostly an intro class so it'll be an easy A

Awesome. Building computers is fun when it's for yourself. It makes you appreciate it more, too.

.NET owns Java. Whatever you can do in Java, you can do more securely, more stable, and best of all FASTER in .NET.

I use it for all my shit. The days of having thousands of hours to kill on writing stupid "reinvent the wheel" application codes are gone. I gotsta money to make yo!
