Yesterday I made a stupid decision to make a GUI program from scratch with NetBeans. Its function is calculating the day of the week a specific user-given date is. As I wrote in my last entry, we had this assignment at the university, so I thought it would be fun to write a program I already know using a new language and a new method (GUI vs console-based).
I couldn't be more wrong.
After hundreds of error messages, I finally know how class and object in Java are supposed to work, as well as project linking, importing and referencing between files. That's the good news. The bad news is, I spent all my Friday night and Saturday on it, and my social meter is developing into an interesting number zero.
In accordance with the profound knowledge, I decided to push along the momentum and get to know online repositories and subversions as well. I am not a stranger to the ideas, I have seen people doing it back when I was still a Blender bro. It must have been at least 8 years. How time flies.
But seeing people doing it and actually doing it are very different subjects. I downloaded git, read the tutorial, push/pulled my repo on GitHub as practice, and decided it's too manually complicated. Easy solution? NetBeans. Though I just recently got it, I fell in love with it so much. It has everything a programmer needs (at least that's what I think, I'm no programmer) and it has Git support so that I don't have to use the terminal. Yay laziness.
My first uploaded project can be found here. I was stupid and uploaded the whole NetBeans project, but you can just download the src folder and make a project yourself with whatever tool you like. It still has a lot to improve, but I'm not going to spend another goddamned second on that this weekend.
