    Go through Sun's Java Tutorial and practice on all the exercises.
    The first tutorial describes in great detail how to set up your computer and
    install the JDK (Java Development Kit), i.e. the compiler, runtime etc.

    kind regards,

        Did you actually *read* my reply and at least have a *look* at all those tutorials?
        They are all more than just good tips related to programming you know.

        kind regards,

          I don't think it's possible to come up with better tips than the ones already provided.

            a few good tips....

            Find a comprehensive Java text book you like and buy it.

            Read it and do the exercises and questions at the end of the chapter.

            Do the Java tutorials as mentioned above.

            When you read or hear about a cool class, write a program adding that class to it in a useful way. Then change it to be used in another process.

            That will keep you busy for a while..I know it has kept me busy!

                "The Java Programming Language" by James Gosling et al. Always read stuff
                written by the creators of the language. (the same goes for C and C++).

                If you've read and understood that, select other literature.

                kind regards,

                Jos

                  I like Java, How to Program by Deitel and Deitel. It's newbie friendly in the beginning but takes the owner through some very complex stuff by the end. It's expensive in the book store, but you can get it on Amazon for about 2/3 of the counter price if you take a slightly used one.

                  Look around though. Go to your favorite book store and look at 4 or 5 different books. You may find another author's style you like better.

                        As I wrote in my reply #2: go read those tutorials; there are lots of exerciese
                        in there. Give them a try yourself. We are not going to invent exerecises for
                        you; you want to learn how to program; you do the exercises. When you're
                        stuck come back here. We are not going to spoonfeed you but we're all
                        willing to help you when you have a problem with one of those exercises.

                        kind regards,
