mr_lou: Hey mr_lou, I think you answered my question yesterday regarding the recommended guide to learning java. I couldn't respond then so it'll be nice if we can continue that conversation now. |
| 07:35 |
|
aditsu |
Asdf_: hi, in general I would recommend starting from here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/ |
| 07:36 |
|
Asdf_ |
aditsu: Hey, just a bit of context. I'm learning java for android programming. I'm not sure whether that changes things with regard to which version I should be learning. |
| 07:41 |
|
aditsu |
the first 4 links on that page still apply (at least) |
| 07:41 |
|
mr_lou |
Asdf_, Android isn't Java in my opinion. It's "Android Java". You might want to join #android-dev instead. |
| 07:42 |
|
aditsu |
that's also true, but the core is basically the same |
| 07:43 |
|
aditsu |
anyway, I don't have much experience with android development |
| 08:38 |
|
Asdf_ |
mr_lou: So I guess it's better if I take some advice from #android-dev then? |

aditsu: yes but the latest news is that the Java EE spec docs are not being transferred: http://www.javaoffheap.com/2018/07/episode-35-bug-in-java-9-and-10-oh-noes.html |

oh, you and your podcasts >< |

mr_lou |
Microsoft took over GitHub?.... |
| 12:24 |
|
aditsu_ |
yes they did, you missed that? |
| 12:25 |
|
mr_lou |
I don't read news. |
| 12:25 |
|
mr_lou |
Or watch news. |
| 12:25 |
|
mr_lou |
Or listen to news. |
| 12:25 |
|
mr_lou |
I know nothing. |
| 12:25 |
|
mr_lou |
I find I'm happier that way. |
| 12:26 |

mr_lou: so, do you know who's the current US president? :p |

I'm actually a bit surprised that microsoft hasn't plastered its name, logos and links all over the github home page |
| 12:33 |
|
aditsu_ |
and hasn't (yet) made it look corporate-y and clunky |
| 12:35 |
|
mr_lou |
Well I've never used GitHub, and now I know I never will. |
| 12:35 |
|
mr_lou |
I can't stand Microsoft. They ruin everything they touch. |
| 12:35 |
|
aditsu_ |
good for you :) |
| 12:37 |
|
aditsu_ |
many people are arguing that microsoft has changed a lot in recent (maybe 10) years and it's not anymore the borg it used to be, but I'd still rather avoid it as much as I can :p |
| 12:37 |
|
* mr_lou |
will stick to Blu-ray coding on Linux. :-> |
| 12:38 |
|
mr_lou |
Btw... I found the only other person in the world who's also interested in BD-J coding. So now I'm helping him get started in ##j2me. :-> |
| 12:40 |
|
aditsu_ |
there's gotta be a couple more, but maybe they don't do irc :) |
| 12:40 |
|
mr_lou |
Maybe. :-) |

I keep hearing good things about Visual Studio Code. And it's open source. |

|
pdurbin |

pdurbin |

pdurbin |

pdurbin |
Do they do a good job of closing old bugs that no one cares about? |
| 14:47 |
|
aditsu_ |
I think the verified ones are also resolved |
