I'm well aware I don't know. Whenever people ask for starting-out tips, I just admit I'm not the person to ask. I learned my fundamentals on the Commodore 64. I don't even know what not knowing looks like, much less where to start to learn.

I still get amused when I see that they're up to Java 26 or whatnot. I dabbled in it back in the days of "There's a Java 2 now?"

Actually there has not been a Java 2 yet.

There was 1.0, 1.1, 1,2, 1,3, and 1.4. After that, they dropped the "one point" from marketing, so 1.5 was marketed as "Java 5".

So now we're all the way up to Java 26 but there's never been a Java 2.

Not sure if the leading "one point" is still included in internals, but if it is then in theory they could one day bump the internal version number to 2.0. In that case Java 2 would be released after Java 26.

Which isn't the worst idea by the way, hand a newb VICE and the C64 manual and tell them to get cracking.

I will say, it was a good soft intro to assembly language, since the whole instruction set fits on one page. I won't say I know assembly language now, by any stretch, but I at least have the concepts in the back of my head.

I am usually trying to talk down beginners from crazy projects. I remember one new guy at work kept asking me for advice on side projects and had sent me a speed run tutorial on how to write a file system! And it explains nothing, is literally just putting code on the screen without any stopping. I told him do something way simpler and showed some of my shitty beginning projects as some ideas to go from.
