Darn it.

Lol. Feels like such a waste, learning a language that isn't of use.

But oh well, after this course is over in like...four weeks I can focus on learning C++ and Java on my own. An old friend of mine who used to work as a programmer for I think the power plant near where I grew up gave me a Java Book, "Java Programming for the absolute beginner" by: Joseph P. Russel about one or two years ago, I picked it up went through about 20 or 30 pages, changed some of the system settings and everything, etc, but it felt like a hassle because the way java worked for it was I would write everything in a notepad, and then save it as the appropriate file type. Didn't cause too much trouble though. As for C++ I used that one site for a little while that has free tuts and links to compilers, but don't have much time to learn it right now.
