Messing with trite stuff of any sort, especially if it HAS to passed off as magic pixie dust for progress' sake, is bad, because when you're learning something its very annoying if you can already tell right from the start you're not even seeing the whole picture.
I'm taking it as axiomatic for a moment that teaching a student all about what 'static' means and such (in order to fully understand Hello, World!) _before they're let loose to write the simplest stuff imaginable_ is somewhere between criminal and retarded. Heck, forcing OO principles is already annoying. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
