More on Eclipse

I spent some time working in the Eclipse environment today, checking out it's features and performance. So far, I am very pleased with it. IBM has something very nice here, so check it out if Java or C is your thing.

Here is a picture of the Eclipse IDE with the RallyCar I am toying with and learning Java at the same time. Click on the thumbnail image for a larger version.

Learn to Program Java with CodeRally

If you are considering learning how to program in Java, then CodeRally and the Eclipse platform would make a good start.

Code Rally is a programming game where you attempt to program a rally car to beat other rally cars. By altering a few lines of code you can change the behavior of your rally car, and hopefully improve its performace.
