... I am here is to learn Java from the ground up, and once that is done developing programs to interact with AutoCAD; why? Most corporation I worked with have an interesting time keeping drawings organized and the current add-ons from AutoCAD do not interact well with networks. They forget that people use them, not robots. I think there is still lot of oportunities.

My background is only C++ and VB. I am proud to say to got Java IDE running with my first proverbial Hello World program. When I am at least through the basics I will have a lot of questions, but plan not to post newbie stuff - time is to short for that.

Cheers! - Hank
