Yesterday, the faculty voted to approve the creation of a new Computer Science major. Getting tenure the second time is not as exciting as the first time,but it's still a relief. Giving up... | |

| | | | | 27 years of age, and alive and kicking?-?The Java platform regularly comes out amongst the top contenders in rankings like the TIOBE index. In my opinion, rightly so. The language is very actively maintained and constantly improved; its underlying runtime, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), is one of, if not the most, advanced runtime environments for managed programming languages. There is a massive eco-system of Java libraries which make it a great tool for a large number of use cases, ranging from comman... | |

Believe it or not, I just described static, dynamic, weak and strong typing. | ||
