Out I come from under my rock
Saturday I switched gears from Linear Algebra to Java. I have not used a full featured IDE since high school when I was writting C++ programs for fun in Borland. Using the free NetBeans 4.0 IDE from Sun has really opened by eyes to what I have been missing. IDE’s are useful, and java is really a cool language. How cool is it that the IDE will tell you what method are available for a given class, or that you have not implemented all the methods for a given interface? One of the things I really miss since I have been working in tcl are good profiling tools. I am sure I won’t be disappointed, although I expect to be disappointed with the general execution time of java.
Going back to tcl Monday is going to be difficult.
