What does Craig Dennis mean by im not perfect?

Haha! So far im enjoying your java course!. I've been real back and forth with C++ and python. I've went through Kenneth's python course and now i'm moving on to Java and realized i've lost touch with basic things like adding a semi colon to the end of a line. You guys came just in time. I need some java skills if I wanna get this internship with Lockheed Martin. Thanks!

Woah now Craig Dennis, that sentence didn't end in any punctuation.

Awesome! Every time I take one of Kenneth Love 's courses I litter it with Java syntax, and I was a Python programmer for 7+ years! I feel your pain.

Best of luck with the internship! Keep me posted on what you think of the course!

thanks! what do you think of learning two or three languages simultaneously? i've went through the basics of many but i'd like to stick with one and really excel at it. how did you go between python or java? or can you maybe blend java objects with some python scripting? Thats probably the hardest thing for me, knowing what to learn and how to make it marketable in a job.

LOL!. Graig, you are the real MVP

Gotta keep moving fast, otherwise I'm gonna throw it all away on booze.

Thank you for the insight man! I really want to get my foot in the door and i think thats the way to go. I'm gonna try to stick to one thing and master it before anything else

Haha yeah me too, my face just dropped but no idea why.

As someone wisely said in an article I ready somewhere online, Java is to Javascript like car is to carpet. Or this site shows other examples: http://javascriptisnotjava.io/

They do share some similarities, like most programming languages, in syntax (if statements, for example) but they are definitely very different languages used for different purposes. Java is primarily a server-side language and is compiled (built into baser code for efficiency, first, then that code is used at runtime) while Javascript is primarily a client-side language (though has moved to the server now with Node.js) which is interpreted (converted into a lower level language at runtime).

If you're looking to get into back-end development or building Android apps, then learn Java. If you're looking to get into front-end development or building things to work client-side, then learn Javascript (though, again, it can be used server-side now thanks to Node).

I'm biased and learned Javascript as my first programming language and think that's a better language to learn first since you can easily build and run simple apps without needing a server environment setup to test. Javascript logically can do most anything most other programming languages can do. Running Java apps takes a little more legwork.

Hope that helps. In the end, it will benefit you to learn other languages as you get more comfortable at programming in general. Only increases your skill set making you a much better hiring candidate.
