BlueJ is not a jbird

I'm learning Java this year in AP Comp Sci and so far the labs we've been assigned have been extremely easy. We have so far drawn a house, done our taxes (not really), found out what day easter falls on in a given year, etc. Compared to what I've done on my own time in Perl or Shell Script this is so easy.

The best part though is that I get to work extensively on the formatting of my code and my comment style. Before this my perl code was horribly difficult to edit and it was written using obscure methods that I made myself because I was too lazy to look up alternative methods. My shell script coding has been better because it has been more geared toward the public to read and critique and my shell scripts are generally much shorter.

Updating mp3ogg helped me out quite a bit with formatting my code. I had to work with code that was not my own and keep it formatted consistently... Loran Hughes' has a very good coding style by the way.

Well... there codes one good post... more to come.
