Well...
I can give you a little help in the 4th question... I've been in a summer
course on Mindstorms (which turned out to be of little interest, as we only
programmed using the RIS programming language...) and, on the very last day,
we started using a little Java... From what I've heard from people who
spend
their lives programming robots, the 2 "most important" languages for
programming Mindstorms are Java and NQC... And between those two, Java has
more capabilities than NQC. That's why a lot of people I met stopped using
NQC and started using Java... I have never learned how to program in Java,
so I don't use it... But I've been using C for some time and I'm starting
to
use NQC... Maybe I'll change to Java, in the future ;-)
Best regards,
João Pedro
