Hey Jim, I remember you. I'd like to see some of your tutorials. I wish I had been subscribed the last couple of days to see the list traffic. Oh well. Thanx. --le ----- Original Message ----- From: "Corbett, James" <James.Corbett@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <program-java@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2010 3:43 PM Subject: [program-java] Re: newbie Hi: Were you not on the Program-L list at one time? Anyhow, it has been quiet for a few months but the last two days have been a barn burner. George Bell upon my request started this list about two years ago with the intent of having a forum for blind programmers dealing with Java in all of it's slices. We have in the past focused on Eclipse as the IDE of choice and I have written a number of tutorials that deal with programming in the Eclipse environment and how it interacts with JFW. ...here to help. Just ask away.

I have been reading various documents about it, but thought it would also be helpful to join a list. I am a C++ programmer and am therefore trying to unlearn some of the constructs in C++ (such as pointers) that aren't used in java, and get accustomed to do things the java way, whatever that is. I understand this list has been quiet lately. I hope someone is out there and that there will be some discussion. Thanks and happy hacking. --le
