But why learn Java?
Why not Ada?
Why indeed.
Java is a non-standard, broken down version of C++.
Ada has an ISO standard, has been in use for years and runs
on more platforms. As well, Ada compiler don't generally need
the resources Java systems do, are not as buggy, and often
cheaper RE:GNAT. To put it short, your school isn't going to pay
money to get a system that haven't been fully tested. Other than that,
Ask you local Department of Education if they even consider Java
a language which can be used for a 3 cr. hr. course.
