Recruiter: this medior dev has 5 years of experience in Java (ahem script ahem ahem).
Admin
I'm assuming that the Java syntax was the reason that IDEs with auto-complete were invented.
Admin
For anyone who's not worked in Java lately, it's now possible to define your own classes.
Edit Admin
I've heard rumours about that, and folks who say the same thing about C++, C♯, Objective C, and even other languages. I'm not sure I believe it ...
Edit Admin
You don't need an IDE to develop in Java, but it sure helps!
It also helps a lot if you don't write truly dreadful code like this article has. Good grief! I'm guessing they read about how arrays are more efficient than objects (which they are in some circumstances that don't apply here) and completely misunderstood it. If you need something shaped like a class instance, you should darn well use exactly that unless you have the performance measurements to say otherwise.
