what is the difference. if you were to learn one which would it be. i am thinking java 2 since its the most recently updated but not to sure if its the same thing as java.
so my question is is java 2 the same thing as java just recently updated?
Java2 duh
Java2 is really just a later update than Java. The only reason it's called java2 is because it was such a great update from java1 that they completely renamed it.
Learn Java 2, which is currently in release 1.5beta
It's the same syntax with added features. The only reason you'd want to use Java 1.1 is to make applets because not all browsers support Java 1.3+ (Java 2). Otherwise there is no reason not to use Java 1.4+ (I like 1.5, but it's still in beta format. You could use 1.4.2 though)
Basically, Java version 0.0 to Java version 1.3 is considered Java 1. Then the updates were so dramatic that they decided to rename it. Java 1.3 and up (the most recent is 1.5) are considered Java 2. But yes it's the same syntax.
