Thanks Much!

Now, can someone explain me what is going on here:

import javax.swing.*;       

public class HelloWorldSwing {
    /**
     * Create the GUI and show it.  For thread safety,
     * this method should be invoked from the
     * event-dispatching thread.
     */
    private static void createAndShowGUI() {
        //Create and set up the window.
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("HelloWorldSwing");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        //Add the ubiquitous "Hello World" label.
        JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello World");
        frame.getContentPane().add(label);

        //Display the window.
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread:
        //creating and showing this application's GUI.
        javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                createAndShowGUI();
            }
        });
    }
}
Not the Swing Part, the way he calls createAndShowGUI() function.


But mainly thanks for:

public class MainClass {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
MainClass mainClass = new MainClass();
mainClass.MyFunction();

}

public void MyFunction()
{
System.out.println("Hello");
}
}
I'm making my class an object and accessing one of its properties, which is MyFunction() right?

What kind of language is Java? I've heard various phrases tossed around, like "object oriented," etc. And, as a low-level programmer highly proficient in something like Axe, would it be easy or hard to pick up?

It's easy to pick up if you have experience in other OOP languages.

Object Oriented Programming is like:

str1 = "hey"
a = str1.length()
#a = 3
The upper code is python, but OOP is when you access object properties.

A property of a string can be its length, it's number of words, it's position (GUI), it's size (GUI).

Objects have an enormous number of properties and methods.

Take a look at this Java method:

JButton button = new JButton(); //This creates a button
button.setVisible(true); // setVisible() is a method, and I set it to true in order to show the button


Explaining OOP is hard, here's a Python example:


a = "hello"
print len(a)  # This is non-OOP
print a.__length__  #This is OOP
This last example is what made me understand OOP, I'll never forget it.

If you have experience in Python (and I know you do), you'll find Java more OOPy and easier to handle when it comes to GUI.

The inheritance is DAMN hard to get, but when you get it, you'll like it.

Unfortunately the authors have to update them, you should ask them directly.

Thanks.

I'm new to NSpire Development (C and Assembly) and there are a few things I'm curious about.

The files are .tns (Assembly files) but that's just to allow the Computer Link Software to read it, right?
C files are converted to Assembly when compiled?
I am gonna follow the tutorial later and then come back.

That's too bad.
I hope an emulator comes out eventually.

Apcalc, I changed that "code" tag to a "quote" tag as it was messing with the front page.  I hope you don't mind.

I believe calc84maniac is working on one.

I finally have some time to test it and review it, so I decided to write a proper review on what I thought of the game, what should be improved:

Awesome.

I recommend adding OS 2.56 MP for the 83+ series here.

You mean on-calc? I think that for that you'd need to analyse the hex code (headers).
