To answer your question. Learning a new programming language will hopefully not make you feel that you lack intelligence.
However things will probably seems foreign to you at least in the beginning.
What is your point of reference/background regarding programming? Different people may benefit from different tutorials.
Why have you chosen to learn Java programming?

As the Man in Black said, "Get used to it." The Java Platform and related technologies is so vast that it's highly unlikely any one person can be competent in all of it. Feeling stupid is something developers do all the time, especially when they mess up in ways they shouldn't have. That happens to the best of us but it comes with the turf. You just have to roll with it and realize that it's a journey of constant learning.

You can usually kind it used on amazon, but you may want to get a new one as there are exercises that you may want to do that are filled in.

. . . and there was neither a tutorial about how to get hot water, nor a diagram indicating how to run the pipes so there would be hot water in that shower. Unfortunately it would appear that the OP has stumbled upon the piping diagram (the API documentation), which is intended to be read by those experienced, rather than the tutorials.Paul Clapham wrote:. . . how to turn on the shower. Java's a lot more complicated than turning on a shower . . .

Yes, some parts of the API documentation are difficult to understand; at your stage you might do well simply to read those parts you can understand and ignore the parts you can't.

Education won't help those who are proudly and willfully ignorant. They'll literally rather die before changing.
