Struggling with java

[Shicky]

Started this at uni in october and all was going pretty well till last week when i found it difficult and then this week i found impossible, completely didnt understand how to do some of the things i was being asked and the solutions were stuff i hadnt really seen before.

So basically im intending to do a lot of little tutorials and use all the resources i can, so has anybody got any good ones out there?

*I do realise this is an easy language but im not an idiot and know i'll grasp it with a bit more work.

Cheers guys will defo give them a go

Any others out there? What about books? I have Big Java and another book i forget the name of for my course 'Fundamentals of Programming in Java' by someone, which i think is entirely crap and leaves out any real detail the user might need.

I definately wouldn't say Java is an easy language to get to grips with, but i supposed it depends on your background.

Anyways, i definately definately recommend reading the w3 schools tutorial as starting point and go from there.

Have they removed it or something? Cant find a java one, just JavaScript?

*currently working through the sun tutorial, anyone know of any other decent ones?

cheers RobH, i'll work through a good few tutorials and see where im at, if im still struggling i may just pickup that book. Need 70% in all modules to get in the masters course, got good enough grades but they screwed me!
