No. I wrote Java for 3.5 years at WildTangent, a company I founded as employee #2 back in 1998, and left once I felt it was starting to become sketchy and we had grown to over 250 employees. That doesn't make me a "Java man". The popup is correct. I have no desire to code in Java or C# or Perl or any other language but LAMP (well, maybe Ruby would be acceptable). I get a recruiter a day contacting me in spite of that message, but it does help to weed out the rest of them. Knowing a language or previously coding in it doesn't mean you want to continue to use it forever. > > AND you worked for WildTangent. Enough said. Haha. When we started WildTangent, we were the first company to do 3D graphics in a web page. We effectively put microsoft's "Chrome" out of business and we did amazing things. You could write full blown games using basic Javascript or Java IN a web page. You didn't need to know complex math or collision detection algorithms or trig or calc or anything. The average programmer could create games or other graphics (3D pie-charts, etc) easily. Now they're a less than average game company that doesn't even use the WebDriver and has a stigma of adware. I was proud of what I accomplished at WildTangent, despite what it has degraded into now (which I left in 10/2001, so had nothing to do with that debacle). *sigh* It's unfortunate you guys can't see past some superficial stuff and have an intelligent dialog about frameworks and help the OP with his question. Instead this has turned into an "attack" on me -- one of the few people who posted opinions and helpful insight for him to make an informed decision. Thanks to those who did agree with me, and even those who disagree'd politely. d.
