My student life's a mess. I don't know what to do first, what to delay, where to start, and even how to start. It's like everything's been dropped on us this semester. Now we could say, "So this is the real Computer Science course.". I didn't realize we were so relaxed and carefree in the previous 2 and a half years of our college life. Right now, we have to make projects that are extremely difficult. And worse of all, we need to write those in languages we haven't learned yet (or even skipped in the previous years). Ah, nothing's really hard and unimaginable; all we need is TIME. But time is almost over, a semester is not enough. First and foremost, we are now to forcibly and thank-goodness-ly learn the most prominent and famous of all programming languages, Java. Don't laugh at us, we were trained to do things in machine level, thus C. Our faculty have had their benign reasons why they harnessed us in the C language instead of the conventionally-taught Java. So basically, our batch is pro-C, and Java-terrified. That's an overstatement, don't take that seriously. I on the other hand, challenged myself to do my extremely dangerous Operating Systems project (memory partinioning) in Java which includes graphics and multithreading. A whole new world. Urgh, whoever created Turbo C, why did you not include threading with it? Anyways, the next language to learn is PHP! And I am so eager to learn you PHP. Together with PHP will be MySQL. This will be for our Database project and we will create a web-based DB application for a memorial park (Haha). PHP is sort of familiar as I've seen a lot of examples of it as a blogger. It is everywhere online! The last program and web design slash animation application to learn is the handy dandy Flash! Although this is sort of a "side-dish" as it is not a Computer Science class that required this but Literature 1. We're making a cartoon for a Visayan epic entitled "Datung Sumanga and Bugbung Humasanun". So to all the Bisaya, anticipate for this one! Haha kidding, for an animation from a Flash-ignorant person like me, expect sticks. Well, probably that's all but that's a big task from my perspective. Any programmer who have advanced skills in the mentioned languages reading this post, please do contact me and render your free services or help. Haha. Not that I badly need it, but I still need it in some other ways. Happy blogging and Aja! to me.Note: To my once anonymous whiny stalker, if you are reading this one, you know then why I don't have time for your proxy and I.P. things YET. Networking is a subject for next semester.

hey hey hey classmate!
ana jud buhay estudyante bry hehehehe..good luck sa imong career
During my programming days, I had to learn both Java and Javascript. It was bad because I always seemed to be missing a closing tag that would make my program screwy. Other than remembering closing tags, Java isn't that bad.
Java's syntax is quite close to C, so it's really not that hard to go from one to the other in terms of the pure syntax. What will do your head in is learning the "right" way to do something, because Java's typically object oriented whereas as far as I know, Turbo C isn't. Turbo C is stoneage (probably why it doesn't support threads either).
I bet the reason they're having you go from C to Java instead of the other way around is because Java will do your typing, memory allocation, garbage collection, and everything else for you. It's easier to learn how to do something, and then learn not to have to worry about it, than to do it the other way around.
