It is just like to learn anything if you´re motivated to study hard.

Harder then javascript easier then C.

Personally, it was hard for me. But I didn't spend much time working at it and studying it. I'm sure it will come to you if you just put your mind to it.

I never learned it before. Anyway, I don't think so. With positive thinking and working real hard, you can do it!

the best way is to get a good book, preferably one that is not too thick, read it from A to Z, slowly and calmly, while trying out the examples in the book on your computer. There is nothing like reading a good book. Then when you have read it and carried out the small examples, decide to program some application that you would find interesting ... to support your hobby, or whatever. The alternative to the above strict procedure would be to start looking at other people's programs, read randomly in some book or on webpages. I prefer the more strict approach.

I am currently learning it myself. I started by jumping in the deep end and trying high level programs and working out what was doing what, but got no where. I now have a good book (Deitel & Deitel, Java, How to Program) and am working my way through it. It is ALOT easier this way! So far, writing Java is quite easy and enjoyable, but im only just beginning!

It depends on your background. If you know a little C++, it'll go a long way helping you to pick up Java. I initially found Java to be quite confusing and didn't like it, but 10 years later it's my language of choice. Compare this to my experience with Perl which I learned at about the same time and still strongly dislike, preferring PHP for web scripting. (PHP being, also similar to C++. I expect that's not a coincidence.)

I took a basic a course in Java but I never used it, as I did not have to. But it helped me to understand JavaScript. I find Java brings a big change of perspective if you just know some other programming languages, so maybe it is harder to learn in that case.

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 - 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) - 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. Usually, you'll learn three more things which will come in handy later. Ok, so it sounds kind of cheesy, but it's true!

Obviously Not!! If u have good command over C/C++ but if u r a beginner in programming u can also do it by doing things in ur own style and thereby making it SIMPLER!!

Its not hard if you are learning it in a proper sequence

only one answer no no no java uses oop concept i.e.object oriented programing. it use object=data+methods.

Understand the basics and work with small, short programs at first. Trying to jump right into real-life scenarios or large programs will be very confusing without some background knowledge. OOP also takes some getting used to

It's about as hard as trying to learn spanish actually. At least for me it was. TO make it much easier, you should try learning simple HTML, then CSS, then JavaScript. After that, Java should be no sweat, just a bit of effort.

Well Java is simple language to learn, that's what I think. Because java has eliminated all the complex concept and coding from java. java is well documented. I personally feel if you are clear of with OOPS concept, then java will be very easy. You can refer to 1. Head First java. 2. deitel - Java How To Program 3. Thinking in java rest on it depends on you how you develop yourself in world of Java Hope It Helps

In comparison to other OOPLs, Java is extremely simple for a first time programmer. It is lightweight when it needs to be, and is simple enough that even only a sufficient knowledge of the basics will produce results.

Java is an extremely strict language and as such is very difficult to learn to an advanced level. If you want to try object orientated programming I would recommend PHP. However, if you are determined to learn Java then buy the latest Deitel and Deitel book and work through it. Make sure you understand each bit and can do all the problems at the end of the chapters.

Well. I am an under graduate I first learned c++ then started java and I refered Head first java book. It is awesome. You'll never forget java.

Not that hard if you already know another language, like C++.

No, it isn't. If you're already familiar with C, C++ or C# its syntax will be easy. If you don't know any programming languages at all there's a lot of background stuff you'll need to learn. On the other hand, there's a lot of classes and libraries you'll need to actually start doing useful things with it. You'll need to get familiar with at least some of these.

Goodness, no! No harder than painting. Of course, anyone can paint, but painting a master piece, well... that takes a while to perfect. Mistakes, learning, techniques, it's all a rich topic. The fundamentals, however, are quite easy to understand. My advice would be to practice examples, practice some more, and keep practicing; don't bite off more than you can chew but at the same time, don't stick with what you've already learnt. There are pitfalls, like any programming language, but you'll find that it's a lot more forgiving than, say, C++. Once you've got the hang of the basics, try and specialise in a particular field: GUI, DB interfacing, Networking, Web Services, Media, 3D, Encryption, Collections... the libraries associated are large, and can be daunting to the new comer, so do little bits. After a while, the standard libraries become second nature, and you might find that the discovery of a new library brings a little sparkle of joy. There is nothing so satisfactory as sitting back after spending a good day solving a problem, and watching the magic just work. By the same token, there is nothing quite so annoying as having busted a gut to get a feature working, only to have the client turn around and say "Oh that's nice. Say, that shade of green isn't right..." Long story short: Easy to learn, has a large library of classes, takes time to perfect but well worth it.
