Hello everyone...

I am a computer repair technician with some minimal background in c and c++ and fairly new to Java... I have spent the last year learning Java via forums, tutorials, even youtube with a goal of developing an AI that will pass the Turing test. I'm pretty good at linked lists, data structures and binary trees and currently studing neural nets in Java, but I suck at GUI and Swing... Any help is appreciated... Thanks,

Hello, rchrispink3913! Welcome to the forums! You'll find a lot of help here. Whenever I post a question, I usually get a response within a quarter of a day! :D

Good luck with your programming!

please ignore... I'm just trying a sample post with imbedded code...

Code java:
