Wow - when I saw the list, I realized I have a lot to
learn. I'm a newbie in the computer field (I'm a
software tech for a local software company), and the
stuff on the list I hope I can pick up through the
years...
In the company I work for, I'm always looking over the
programmer's shoulder and asking questions. The more
questions you ask, the more you learn.
Even though I went to school for IT, they never taught
me the in's-and-outs of every-day programmings...just
the basics.
The stuff on your list is great, and any aspiring
programmer will want to take a good look at it.
BTW...my gut instinct tells me that the second example
'if (a.equals("something")){
---instructions----
}
will compile and work....I've seen this example
before,
but not sure why a.equals works rather than a ==

Thanks,
