Hello

This is the sister article to my question on C++.

I've been told by some other people that java is a better language to learn for the kind of implementation needed.

Please don't close the other topic, or stop replying to the other topic, as both of these will be needed by me (though immediately this one!)

What I need, is to learn Java, within a month.

Any suggestions/pointers?

Thanks in advance for any replies,

Panarchy

A really good book is also "Starting out with Java from control structures through objects" by Tony Gaddis

Hello

I've finally been able to learn (well haven't finished either book yet, not even half way through the first one! BUT I am on my way to becoming a programmer) C++ & Java by reading/learning the following two books;

Sams Teach Yourself C++ in One Hour A Day

Sams Teach Yourself Java 6 in 21 Days

Thanks for all help given.

Wish me luck!
