William:

I can't speak for Steve, but my take is that if you don't know C++ then
you don't come into Java with a lot of pre-conceived notions on what
Java *should* have and how it *should* behave.  This allows you to focus
on Java itself.

For me, knowing C++ certainly tripped me up a little when I started
learning Java.  Assumptions made based on C++ just because Java looks
like C++ are rarely good.

I second the observation that there is a difference between OOP and a
language.  The language can make implementing OOP easier or harder, but
they are not equiv. items.

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
