My teacher was thinking of a Java Programming Hour(s) for these who like it ! Becouse He is good in Java and He whant to learn us for free ! He asked me for a Flash MX Hour(s) but O God no Im new ! Im learning so I canot do it ! But he added the Java Programming Hour(s) learning Java ! I think its from 1 to 2 hours ! but Shall i go for it and learn Java ! he said its cooler than Actionscript or something but I disagree ! LOL ! He also said that Java is close to Actionscript ! HUH ! is that right or wronge ? Well I will not give up my Webdesign but if I take Java will I get to learn ActionScript easyer than before ! And the cooler thing is that WE are going to use MAC(ssSSSssS) Please post your answer or tip or comment(s) Thanx ! ``` :tb: ``` ---

Thats a great idea, i wish my teachers were that cool. just make sure he don’t diss actionscript or you can tell him i will hunt him down and slap him with a herring. ---

Well both actionscript and Java are object oriented but as far as I know no java is capable of matching the power and visual effects of Flash, although anybody with time could do some nifty work with java… Action Script is much easier to learn too… ---

Go for it. JavaScript is very very similar to ActionScript; in fact the two are both based on the ECMA - 262 specification, so if you learn JavaScript, when you come round to learn ActionScript it will be much much easier. ---

man, youre lucky 🙂 I mean, they are learning us Pascal at school, that sux, I’m not saying that learning pascal is a bad thing, but they could learn something more useful nowadays… ---

I got taught RM BASIC (for anyone old enough to remember that) when I was 14, then Pascal, COBOL and C for my A Levels at 16 - 18. At University I went on to Visual Basic, Java, HTML, JavaScript, Assembly language, C++… It’s no wonder I get mixed up on my coding sometimes with all that lot going on in my head. 😏 I think it’s a good idea to teach that kind of thing though. And the younger you start, the better. 🙂 ---

LOL Basic was the only one of those languages that existed when I was 14… I feel real old now… Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

Sorry about that. 🙂 Hehe, I remember writing really pointless programs in RM BASIC. 10 REM My Program 20 PRINT “To all the people at my secondary school who took the mick out of me for knowing how to use a computer - Ptthbt!” 30 END Ah, those were the days… 🙂 ---

we had a “terminal” that you typed on, the machine went “tigga tigga tigga” with it’s daisy wheel onto yellow paper on a roll… Then, in a couple of minutes, the machine would go “tigga tigga tigga” again, and you would read the message on the yellow paper… Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

Can I say ‘FORTRAN’? I knew I could. 😛 Things have sure come a looooong way since I started out. I’ve still got my very first computer - Commodore Amiga 500, the Batman pack! ---

my first computer was a Tandy 3000 w/1MB HD and a 3 1/2" floppy drive (no 5 1/4" which all of the software was produced in), and a monochrome (green) 13" monitor… I couldn’t get it to do anything but a few simple things… I sold it after my divorce for $500… Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

We had a machine at my junior school that took the really huge floppy disks… But now I’m really reaching into the depths of my memory to drag that up. 🙂 ---

yup Teuhtall-y different, I dont even know why they share the same prefix… Java is just a small browser interpreted language which just cant compete with all the other ones… ---

Java is a good language to learn and relatively pain free. It was the firt OOP language that I ever studied, and found it pretty easy to get to grips with. If you know how Flash works before you start on Java, then I think you’re in with a head start, as you’re already familiar with objects and targetting them. C++ was the killer. Especially pointers. It’s worth doing, but it’s still very nasty. ---
