What does Oracle's lawsuit against Google mean to Android developers? I know this is not a programming related question, but I can't think of another forum where I can ask this.
Technically speaking Oracle is going out on a limb with this one. Android isn't actually Java, it's a Java -> Dalvik converter. No one has won a lawsuit against converters, although no one to my knowledge has tried. You'd be best to follow things on TechCrunch or some other nearly technologically related press-like site.
It doesn't mean much. If Oracle wins, Google will pay damages and/or license the patents in question. Android isn't going to stop shipping.

Currently learning Java on w3schools and it slows down most of everything:
Scrollling through website
Switching tabs
Typing in notes on notion
Clicking the 'x' buttons on ads only rids them temporarily.
AdBlock worked. Suggestion provided in comments by user Unmitigated.

There's a lot of info out there about its LGPL license and the legal stuff, but is it actually any good?
iText 2.1.7 has (to quote the sales guy at iText) a "few technical and also legal problems".
I know he's a sales guy and he probably wanted to put me off so that I'd buy a commercial license (and I definitely don't blame him for doing so, don't get me wrong), but can anyone actually give me an example of a popular, well-rated app out there that uses DroidText?
Is DroidText, actually any good?
I don't have enough cred to leave comments. This might not be what you are looking for, but I work for a (non-profit) firm that is developing a tablet application that will be used by law enforcement. We are using DroidText to convert onscreen forms and activities to a pdf. While it isn't going to be an app for public use, the reaction from the police has been very positive so far.
So yes, DroidText is "good"

I am wondering is there something like a little guide or tutorial for a programmer who has experience in delphi and wants to learn java? Like a syntax guide etc
I've been using delphi since I was about 13 years old as it was taught in high school. I am now 19. I have become very fond of delphi and how simple it is :)
Also if anyone has any good links for netbeans tutorials for beginners I would appreciate them as well :)
You can just google "java delphi comparison" and it will turn up a lot of helpful pages. I couldn't find the document I remember from seven or eight years ago, but here are a few directly on topic:

I am working with Java at my current day job. When I learned programming, I learned C++, but haven't touched it (or had to) since 2002. I don't even remember how to do the simplest of things.
Lately, my work has been expressing a need for a C++ application built for windows.
I am looking for books/articles/blog-posts (resources) that:
teach the basics of C++?
for n00bz?
for someone who's already been programming?
teach the differences between C++ and Java?
teach the basics of the Visual .* platform?
teach the specificities of building with Visual Studio?
Why ask the question?
This question was brought on by the fact that my first program is 5 lines of C++ (sourced from documentation with a dependency on a DLL.) It's quite intimidating to figure out how to build it in the way I'd like to.
That being said, there are many elements in the snippet that I don't understand.
I definitely see that the original need is small, but I'd like to get some background on the platform/subject before I embark on even some simpler development (like the snippet) in the future.
Thanks in advance.
