I'll see how the class starts to turn out, and then I'll let you know. Thanks, Daniel. I'll see how the class starts to turn out, and then I'll let you know.

I really do hope you learn the basics of algorithms and other theoretical stuff. That's what university CS classes are for, in my opinion. If you want to learn a language, you can read a book or study for a certification test. Professors should teach the theory in college. I can recommend a few good theoretical books that are very cross-platform/language, because, of course, it's all very theoretical. Let me know if you want them. Java's a great language!

I took three years' worth of programming in high school, but the courses were very shallow: make a program that does this, make a program that does that. Hopefully with this class I'll get the fundamentals. Let's hope.
