Best Way to quickly learn Java
« on: November 05, 2011, 10:57:09 pm »
I just got a new android phone(Motorola BACKFLIP) and id like to program for it, but then i saw the primary language for it was java which i have never learned.

I know Python some C++ and a little more C. If anyone has a good idea on how i could learn java relatively quickly so that i could start working on my android phone that would be great

Java's syntax is based almost entirely on C++'s.

There's Oracle's series of Java tutorials.
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/

I personally like Thinking in Java, by Bruce Eckel. It's a huge book, but it's really good.
You can download the 3rd edition of the book for free from his website. The 3rd edition deals with Java 1.4 I think, so I don't think it has generics,
but you can just Google for a tutorial on Java Generics.

It's is a bit old, but Learn Java Now is one of the best book tutorials on any language I've ever read. The guy actually makes it interesting.
