Looking for a guide/teacher

Hey Everyone,

I'm relatively new to programming in Java, and I was wondering if someone would be willing to possibly be an aid for me. Like possibly give me a program to solve and see if I can figure it out every few days, and if I had trouble was willing to look over my code and help me out.

I know it's a lot to ask for a private tutor, but I'd figure someone might want to help someone come up.

If you are interested in aiding me, reply to this thread, possibly with an E-mail address I could contact you at. Thanks in advance!

(BTW, once again my knowledge ATM is very limited, I know how to define classes, constructors, loops, and arrays (initializing and filling) so please be gentle ;) )

Do some of the practice problems off topcoder, you can look at other people's solution to learn.

im studying java at uni, the course requires no prior knowledge of java and takes you up to pretty advanced levels over the course of 2 years.

The notes can be found here: (big PDF)

http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/teaching/2005/HowToStudy/notes/java.pdf

if you search for "Tickable" youll scroll through the 7 set exercises that Ive had to do out of these notes, each Tickable Exercise has two parts; easy and hard. Ignore Tick1 as its pointless, start with 2 and work up.

And try to ignore the weird pictures of my lecturer.

peace,

Soothsayer

Private tuition works best in person, one-on-one. Not so good over the internet. This forum works best when people post their code, provide complete explanations of what they are trying to do, give exact error messages and ask specific questions.
