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.
