Hello everyone - this is my first post at the ranch!
I have been a programmer for about 10 years in various other languages (vb, c, c++, delphi, c#)...so programming is not new to me, but
Java is.
Because I am proficient in C# the Java syntax is very easy for me to pickup as they are almost identical. The API however is a different story.
Right now I am reading the book "Just Java" and following the problems in the "Cattle Drive" here at javaranch.com...also seriously considering signing up for the cattle drive.
Using Eclipse as my main
IDE, but also using a text editor and the command line just for the sake of learning.
Just wondering if you had any advice that would help me learn java programming (and the API) very quickly?
