Poll: What Did You Use to Learn Java?

Friday October 3, 2008

Talking with a few Java programmers who are just starting out I've been thinking about text editors and IDEs. I've become curious how most people started out learning Java.

This poll couldn't be simpler. Did you use a super duper IDE? A simple text editor or one that at least did some syntax highlighting?

I use netbeans. Might as well use the software made by the people who made Java. If java is updated, then it’s certain that netbeans will be updated shortly also. :)

I like to use the JCreator. This is a powerful Java IDE, it has the code-completion capability, syntax highliting and it is fast.
