Well, throwing exceptions, in Java…
Trying to get into some beginner Java programming with too much of a C-style background makes for nice headaches. I figure that it’s better for me to learn some and be able to commisserate with my colleagues… or at least know when they’re full of it.
After all, as a “systems architect”, some idea of the little picture is good to combine with the big picture I’m responsible for…
Doesn’t make try{} catch{} “rules” any simpler to grok, though.
