Public Service Announcement

If you are going to be teaching a technical class (say, for instance, a class on Java and C++) and you want to demonstrate a concept by using a real-time example...

It would be wise to WRITE DOWN that example in your notes (with details) so you know where to find the appropriate files when you need them, or else you run the risk of losing your audience attention when you are stumbling around one directory after another trying to find that damn file.

That is all.

This week I was told that no one under age 30 uses Java anymore. Is that true?

I'm way over 30 Pistol Bob and I deleted all Java programs.

There was information put out about 6 months ago that told of virus/malware type issues with Java.

All runs fine for me w/o Java on our computers.

And no more pop-ups about Java updates...

Java is teh sux0rz. A Swiss-cheese mess of unpatched security holes. Unfortunately, it's so widely used now that you can't really uninstall it. For example, most of the switches, routers, and firewalls I manage have Java-based interfaces. I prefer the command line, but that's not always available.

I like a good hot cup of Java with my bacon.

Well, I don't disagree, but one of our legacy programs runs on Java, and I need to be able to support it, so I have to learn it.

Or so they say.
