I'm old and retired, but I remain a very capable, experienced programmer. I am happy to be able finally to write code entirely for entertainment and enjoyment. Java is my favorite of all of the languages. I have written programs in Assembly, Fortran, Algol, Lisp, C, C++, Perl, Python, JavaScript, C#, and other languages whose names have faded from memory. I joined this forum to learn what is current in Java software and, if possible, to give back to the programmer community by helping others with their programming problems and activities.
