This thread will track the progress of me learning Java in 60 days.
I am using the book 'Head First Java (Second Edition)'
At the bottom of page I will include my latest java example of using techniques that I have learned.
Wish me luck.



Day 1:

  • Purchased book (Head First Java)
  • Vocabulary terms / Basic Java Information ("Tiger on Tiger") using Java 5.0(1.5) with Unix 10.4.

Day 2:

  • Compiled using 'Command Prompt' (%javac party.java / %java party)
  • Introduced to integers, strings, and arrays. (Int[] int = {}, String[] string = {})
  • Introduced to loops (For, While, Do-while)
  • Introduced to if else, and else if statements.


Latest Java Example

public class practiceCode {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      //99 bottles of beer on the wall (Song)
      int beerNum = 99;
      String word = "bottles";
      
      while(beerNum > 0) {
         if(beerNum == 1) {
            word = "bottle";
         }
         
         System.out.print(beerNum + " " + word + " of beer on the wall, ");
         System.out.println(beerNum + " " + word + " of beer.");
         System.out.print("Take one down and ");
         System.out.print("pass it around, ");
         beerNum = beerNum - 1;
         
         if (beerNum > 0) {
            System.out.println(beerNum + " " + word + " of beer on the wall. ");
         } else {
            System.out.println("No more bottles of beer on the wall.");
         }
      }
      
    }
}

Good luck my dude! I just finished learning ruby off of codeacademy and really enjoyed it. Not trying to promote it or anything b/c I think that might be against the rules, but you should certainly check it out as it has some great resources.

I don't think they offer Java yet, but if you are looking to pick up any other languages it was a great experience for me .

@Admins/Mods, if this is promoting another site or w/e and its against the rules just delete it. No biggy

I took Intro and "Advanced" computer programming at my school and we learned java. It's a fairly fun language as we mostly dealt with graphics and text output. If you need any help OP just pm me.

Thanks for the input guys I spent nearly three hours learning last night. Not that I just wanted to read (I don't like reading honestly) but the book it just made things fun and easier to understand.
