Can anyone tell me how to master java in a month?

[Jerome Qiao]

Hi, this is jerome. I have no programming experience before and can anybody suggest a fast approach to master java in a month?

Thank you very much!

I don't think that "master" and "in a month" are compatible. But you can start be reading books like Head First Java.

Just the language? Or the class libraries as well? If the latter, then there's no way in this short timeframe - there's simply too much to learn. If the former, then a month is still too short to achieve but you can make good progress on that (assuming you have written code before in some other language). Start with a good introductory book like Head First Java and the Sun Java Tutorial. If you haven't worked with OO languages before, you may also want to peruse something like Head First OOA&D.

Thanks a lot! Sound like I have a lot of homework to do.
