Dang. Not 30 seconds after submitting my first assignment I realized I'd forgotten a space before two semicolons.

Marilyn is pretty good about ignoring a submission if you request it. Just resubmit it and include something like please ignore previous submission in the subject.

Rob,
Send your first assignment (Java-1a) to nitpick@javaranch.com

Dirk,
No rule about spaces in front of semicolons, only spaces around identifiers.

This will be one of the most frustrating and rewarding experiences of your life.
If you thought peer code reviews were humbling, you have not seen anything.

Looks like there's at least one advantage to doing the Cattle Drive without prior programming experience: maybe the "getting humbled" factor is stronger for you guys who've been paid to program already?
Frustrating? Yeah sometimes, mostly when I can't find time to work on the assignments.
Rewarding? Definitely!
