Hi all,

  Please visit my new Home page of "Programming Languages Cross-reference"
at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Way/9731/.  I am making a
cross-list of some common Classes/Methods/APIs/Control Flow of Smalltalk,
Java, C++, Perl, Delphi, Foxpro, Visual Basic and other languages.  For
example, Class is called "Class" in Smalltak and Java but "TClass" in
Delphi.  To add an element you call "add:" in Smalltalk but
"addElement(object)" in Java, etc...

  I hope this cross-reference will help programmers to learn a new language
quicker if they are already familiar with one of the languages.

  If you are familiar with other programming languages and have found some
common Classes/Methods/APIs of that language with any of Smalltalk, Java or
C++, etc.  Please drop me an Email and I will consider expanding the table
to include your favorite programming languages.

  If you have time, could you do me a favor by helping me to fill in some
missing entries of the cross-reference table.  I will acknowledge your
effects in my Home page.

  A bonus!!! if you visit my home page, you will also get a beta version of
my homemake Java interpreter: JavaWorkspace 1.0b1 (idea similar to
Smalltalk's Workspace).  Currently, JaveWorkspace works only on JDK 1.2beta2
(the newest API with Beans and JFC built-in).  This program make use of JFC
(java.awt.swing), the parser technology and Metaprogramming (Java's
reflection APIs, java.lang.reflect.*)

About me:
---------
  I am Peter Liu, a fulltime software developer. I am now studying Master
(Comp Sci.) in the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
(www.ust.hk).  My Bachelor degree (Comp Sci.) is obtained from the Brandon
University, Canada (www.brandonu.ca).  I am a Smalltalker, familiar with
Java, Web technology including TCP/IP network programming, C++ and Microsoft
Technology such as ActiveX.  I like Artificial Intelligence (Neural Network,
Genetic Algorithm, Expert System), Object-Oriented programming,
Meta-programming, Parsing/Machine translation of Human languages and all
kinds of puzzles especially Pentomino and MasterMind.

Please send any comments, suggestions, and corrections to me.

Thanks,
Peter Liu
