I am trying to learn java. I have not done any code for years(13). I just read Head First Java and wondering where to go from here to eventually get a job as a java programmer. Thanks for your help.

Hi, Leo - welcome to Java.
The best way to learn Java is to practice, practice, practice. Sun has a great collection of free information to help you learn and practice, including a lot of very detailed step-by-step tutorials, on their website at:
Sun's Java 2 SDK Documentation. The Java 2 Platform image is an image map, and each of the "tiles" is a link to tutorials and reference material. The page also has a New to Java link that is worth exploring.
Regards,
Jeff Bosch

Thanks for the reply Jeff. I have been checking into the Sun website and have downloaded some of the tutorials. Also have started Just Java2 from
Sun. The more I learn, the less I seem to know. Later.

If you want to have a job as a Java programmer I would also try to get your SCJP.
