Plugging along on my Java learning.  I have built on my deckOfCards class, created a method to shuffle( ) and to deal( ).

My goal now is to create a Java program where the user can play Hearts with three computer players.

My first Java program!  I instantiated a Deck of Cards class (DeckOfCards) that was made up of Card sub-classes.  For my next trick...

Just settling down to a nice morning cup of coffee and the Oracle docs for the Java language.

A Milestone Goal

So I have been thinking a lot about setting up a Linux machine.  I am intrigued by the concept that if I take the time to read and study up, I can put an operating system on a computer that is entirely free.  I also feel like it's something of a rite of passage for a computer programmer to set up their own Linux box from top to bottom.  We have a few laptops around the house that are old and conked out, and they might work for setting something up.  So that's my new goal.

Always something new to learn.  Next project: jQuery $.when()

Making a big switch today from Sublime Text 2 to Sublime Text 3.  I still have not yet made the biggest jump, from ST over to IntelliJ.

Java: What is a Java comparable?  Is that a thing?  Further investigation required.

Java: How is a map, and what can it do?
