The company I am with is developing a multi-tier application. Yes, it is slow, but speed is not that big of an issue. The program, for what it's supposed to do, runs perfectly fine in Java. Right now I do a lot of GUI work. We have three people, one working on DB connectivity, a middle tier person (ejb) and a GUI man. I am also working on an R&D project with web phones. It is probably better to concentrate on the theories behind it, instead of learnign just the Java. I started off with c++ and migrated over to Java and a lot of the concepts carry over. good luck.

I've taken about five c/c++ classes that are making java a little bit easier. Classes included c, data structures, (assembly language)creating a compiler with c, c++ itself, and I'm also taking a Visual C++ at the moment. Thanks for the info.

How could tomorrow ever follow today?

Java will always be a little slow because it is runs on a Virtual Machine. As far as portability goes though, it was created specifically so it could run on absolutely every platform with no changes to the code. Of course MS stepped in and had to introduce there own Java stuff and ruined that but as far as Sun's Java goes, it runs on almost any platform, Linux, Solaris, Windows, ect. Only platforms that can't run it are ones without VM's, and all the major OS's have them.

What exactly are you doing with Java? I'm taking a course right now, introducing all the basic concepts. Such as I/O, GUI, Database connectivity, and hopefully some networking. I found that the language is very slow. Does this seem to be a problem with real applications in the career world? Do companies back away because of its lack of speed or do they say "I need something that will run on UNIX, Windows, Solaris, etc"? Sorry if this topic was already talked aobut, didn't feel like reading though 75 posts.

My computer said "WindowsME/2000 or better" so I installed Linux.

Yep, this pretty much sums up why my company is using Java. It has to run on Unix and windows systems.
