Tim, It is not just Java. You saw the example in Java. Examples of code in C++ or for that matter in other programming languages will also look similar if not identical. Like Alan mentioned you have to figure out what your aptitude is. The code is only the final product of programming. Programming is not just writing or knowing to write the code. I have mentored many junior programmers and have found that writing the code seems to be the alpha-omega of programming. You have to first understand the problem and then break the problem into smaller chunks. Functional decomposition as it is called helps in solving the problem more easily. Once you have the pieces figured out you can translate it into the programming language of choice.
Of course I am not going into the details of how you choose the language since there are many criteria for such a choice in a real world project. Let us assume you have that choice. Once you have the problem broken into the simpler digestible pieces you should be able to write the code fairly easily. Getting the logic straight has nothing to do with whether you are using Java, C++, C#, Pascal, etc. Satya Venkataraman ______________________________________________ To change your JDJList options, please visit: http://www.sys-con.com/java/list.cfm
