[JAVA] Hard?

I Don't Like Java,
Sure It's Great To use.
It Just Doesn't Feel As Well As Php.

Duh :P, PHP is the easiest programming language you can work with ^^, but its waay too slow for nice applications.
 
Not really. Once you understand the whole idea of object-oriented programming, the rest of it is pretty logical.

Things that helped me were:

- learning simple things first
- having a teacher who could get me past the basics (my brother)
- having a book that gave many code examples and didn't rush into creating games, GUIs or standalone applications
- having an Integrated Development Environment to assist in formatting my code (BlueJ; it's free, and the most-used options are easy to find)
- Google; once you learn how to access the given library of classes, you can find their names, methods and other specifications on Sun's website using Google
- having a group of people to bounce ideas off of, and a spare pair of eyes to see mistakes that you miss (I recommend getting a partner to learn with, mine was my brother but he already knew alot of Java)
- BEING ENTHUSIASTIC! If you aren't interested in learning something, it's a lot harder! Ask someone who knows what they're doing for more information if you become curious.

Ok, so it sounds kind of cheesy, but it's true!
