If you could go back in time and witness one battle which one would you pick? you might read s pressfield: gates of fire if you have not already. in a different time, if interested in battle details and a story better than da vinci code, see eg "the archers tale" by bernard cornwell.
here's my quick guide: cmd-N: open class cntrl-space: autocomplete name cntrl-J: javadoc cmd-B: jump to defn ... IDEA converted me from emacs/vi for Java (not J2EE) dev.
I was almost converted to the tab true religion, and then I tried to actually set this up in emacs. I find code with eight character wide tabs to be less readable. This is totally a personal preference, if you like reading code with eight character wide tabs, more power to you. Simple enough to fix, right, just: (setq tab-width 4) and, voila, my eyes stop bleeding from overexposure to white space. Too bad jove (ancient, I know) doesn't do all this, emacs ...

emacs: (setq load-path (cons "$HOME/html-helper-mode" load-path)) But when I try to enter that mode, I get a file not found error. Is there any way I can change this without hardcoding my home directory?
Would it help my understanding to read the spec or is there something better to increase my understanding and use of C? A good algorithm will beat any C and compiler optimizer trick.
