i have a question , i am a novice into java.
I really want to master that language so i need some feedback from more experienced users.
I started it off with a book called:" java sotfware solutions written by John and Lewis William Loftus" i think it s pretty good book.
So if someone out there has a master plan for me i am looking forward to reading you.
Thanks to the java-user community.
Jump into the pit up to your eyeballs in alligators and just start sorting things out:
In other words, take on a project that you have no idea how to do in Java (one you can handle in your most familiar language) and start the research (don't forget the API Doc's from Sun, they are great). Plug each little piece in as you find it and keep on going. Once that one's done: it was easy--now find a harder one...
I have read dozens of books on various aspects of programming in college while gaining my degree in Computer Science, and then dozens more afterward. When I have to learn a language, I have found by experience: there just isn't any substitute or shortcut except to go straight through project by project.
Keep in mind each language has it basic fundamental elements: loops, conditionals, some kind of IO or various levels of IO. Lean the fundamentals and then learn the syntax for the specific language you have chosen.
A writer writes: a programmer must create (do it each and every day in the language you are learning--then do it a lot more).
Hi,
Here is another two cents FWIW..
If you don't already know c++ after a while of working with Java start learning c++.. The underlying why's and hows and what fors of Object oriented programming are more easily understood I think when viewed from where these ideas took shape as cures for c procedural run on.
