Why is C++ funner than Java?

I would like to learn how to create a manifest file for Java programs. See, one of the turns offs of programming in Java is how difficult sharing the programs you create with your friends is: they can't just click on some executable file that you create from your Java code. I've read somewhere that there is a way to (in a way) make a Java program such the "Hello World" program in your first tutorial into a executable file by "creating a manifest file". I was hoping you could get into those details using example in your first tutorial. Thanks. I subscribed.

I agree.

Mobile Games and J2ME

I've been looking into anything I can dig up about mobile phone game programming and every where I turn I see J2ME (Java 2 Micro Editiion). I've been inspired to research mobile phone programming ever since I re read John Carmack's blog on his journey into mobile phone game programming. You may have already read about this at the Human Debugger blog, but I suppose I am going into a tad more detail here. I've been searching through forums on the topics. I even went to Sun Microsytem on J2ME, but I can't find any step by step for dummies process on how to make games for cell phones. Maybe this a good time for a conspiracy theory: the programmers at Sun Microsystems wants everyone to think programming games for cell phones is complicated so that there are fewer free lance programmers competing in the market. I'm wondering if I can use C++ to make games for programmers but everywhere I go its just J2ME.

A long while has passed since the last time I studied Java. I've been focused on C++. I'm confident that relearning Java isnt going to be much of a task now that I have a stronger grip over programming since I'm already almost fluent in C++ and understand the main idea of object oriented programming. Seems that Java is dominant in mobile programming which gives me incentive to practice Java alongside C++.

The last time I posted here was in May 2008, and almost a whole year has passed since then.

On A Journey

I'm learning Java too, and I'm having trouble understanding the same concepts I can't understand in C++. I'm focusing on C++ now, but I wanted to create a blog Java with the URL http://javajourney.blogspot.com. Unfortunately, someone beat me to it so I had to insert a dash.
