I want to learn Java 2 quickly and painlessly. I have a good knowledge of C++ and would prefer a book or webpage that assumes that I know a fair amount about programming. Something like learning Java for C++ geeks would be perfect. Any suggestions?

Thank you very much everyone. I'm going to check out a couple demos of the big ones. I'm fairly new to this but I have done some 3d animation before. I'm a bit familiar to Lightwave and 3d studio max. It's very reassuring that Maya works well on a powerbook G4 as this is my main machine...

Is MacOsX.org a good place to learn or should I invest my time somewhere else? Thanx for the links. I don't really feel like buying a UNIX book even though I know it would be a good investment. I will hav to buy one for scholl sooner or late.

Can you give me some reasons why either one is better. I read that Cinema 4d has altivec optimisation, what about MAYA?? Which one renders faster?? What about the physics engine? I would say my biggest criteria would be ease of use/power ratio. So which one is easier to use and will I be...

I have a few questions about the UNIX command line. If I learn the OS X version, will all the commands I learn work in other UNIX variants like Solaris??? Also where is the best online tutorial to become a UNIX command line geek :D (preferably under OS X)?? I find the www.macosx.org tutorial...

What is the best 3d animation program? Is it coming to OS X? Is it lightwave, Maya, Softimage, Flame, 3d studio max? Price is not a problem :D

What app do I need to watch VCDs in Os X? In Os 9 I have to use Free VCD which uses Quictime to play. But in OS X I don't know what to use, is there a way to configure Quicktime to read the Vcds without having to go and get the right file in the cd? I can't wait till Apple puts a DVD...

Nice, does that mean that there is no new and delete? Also I hear pointers are automatic and you don't have to fiddle witht them. But doesn't that take away from your freedom? I use pointers all the time in C++. Give me the name of the Book you learnt Java in. How long would it take me to...

I want Photoshop now!!! Come on Adobe! Apple should pay them a phat sum of money so they can bring it out or else they will loose tons of creative professionals. I though Adobe was partly owned by Apple, sort of like Filemaker. Am I completely wrong about this? I must be or they would have...

Same here ''second driver'' all the way!! There is no way I'm paying a damn 2000$ canadian a year for insurance. Plus I really am a responsible guy! I don't drink and drive and I don't drive fast. Heck, my driving courses were defensive driving! I think we should have a psychology...

Guy I feel your pain! I thing OS X might just be the best thing since sliced cheese but it's not getting enough heat to melt. I want to see more apps come out damn!!!! :( I think the time will come however. Most Mac users are devoted to make the mac os better and want to convert to OS X...

Actually, I'm 19 and my friend of the same age has a Porsche. It cost him about 8000$ canadian (used of course!) and it looks exactly like that Corrado!! I will ask him whitch model it is. :) It's a funny story, the other day a cop pulled him over and he though my friend had stollen the car...

They are both commercial software and X-windows based. I need the console to open them in UNIX though. I guess that would be the same int OS X.

Thanx for you replies. I was just siting the software I presently use in Os 9, I don't really know what is good or not on OS X because I didn't buy it let alone install it :D Fahrvergnuugen : (hard name to spell, is it Scandinavian?) What do you use for web developpment? I use Dreamweaver...

Can I run Analog Workbench & Mathlab on Os X? Can I just take the UNIX versions and run them directly?

I'm a third year computer engineering student and it would be very convenient for me to have UNIX at home and everywhere I go. So I want to Install Os X on my Powerbook G4 Titanium. I don't want to have a dual boot, I not even sure if I want to bother with classic :D I would appreciate it...
