I feel compelled to write a few words about my move to Eclipse which I'm now using to develop my Java data logger. Prior to this I had been using Processing but found I missed the features and facilities I knew existed.
In awe at Eclipse
It's been a couple of months of very steep learning but what a program Eclipse is! Certainly no regrets. Obviously learning the syntax and semantics of a new object orientated programming language is going to be a challenge but Eclipse does it's best to help. Rather like having a team of very talented programmers constantly at your shoulder. It's also a little humbling. To produce programs like that must require such a talent and experience.
The good and not so good Java reference sources
In contrast, these attributes can often hinder when creating legible documentation for mortals and this I have found in the
official Oracle tutorials. A good source of information when you've attained a certain level of proficiency but difficult when starting out. If it wasn't for
Tutorials Point I would have been really struggling!
