BTW option B has also been shown to dramatically reduce the incidences of 14
hour days...
BTW, yes, I'm just starting with Java, but it's just the latest in my
arsenal. My best advice to a new programmer is to have more than one
language at which they're good. If the only tool you have in your toolbox
is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And that advice applies to both
hardware and software.
