Thoughts on learning Java

Category: Software development — by Amit Chaudhary @ 3:19 pm

Java is the defacto language of web development. A friend who is a programmer is learning Java at the same time as I am.

My suggestion, use the quite through Java tutorials by Sun which are better than any Beginner or Intermediate book including the nicely written, but too much time consuming Head First Java. I would recommend the later to someone starting programming or willing to trade “speed” over “having fun” while learning and you can only have one.

As Mr. Linderman said in the Heroes Episode Parasite: You can either have a life of happiness or a life of meaning, not both.
