ClassicMcGee:It depends. If you want to make it very simple & straightforward, No, but if it will and advanced app accesible in web or mobile yes. That idea doesn't look heavy on the surface though. Java basics should that fine. |

CodeTemplar: So you mean if it's a simple app, i only need java basics? |
Re: Is It Advisable To Learn Java As My First Programming Language? by CodeTemplar: 3:16pm On May 31, 2018 |
ClassicMcGee:I mean u need the basics to atleast start writing logic. The program or business logic handles the main core decisions. |

ClassicMcGee:No, java basics can help you have the skeletal parts running. Just simple test unit. |

Hello guys I'm also a beginner to Programming and I've been Learning Java for a while now. I only just discovered Java How to Program I think it's 9th edition too. CodeTemplar thanks for your input on this thread. |

ClassicMcGee:Torrent isn't a normal link kind of system. It is a peer-2-peer sharing or caching system spread accross the globe. Google "how to use torrent to download files". Most things on torrent are infringing copyright as they are pirated. |

ClassicMcGee: Sorry I didn't download it myself. Someone shared the PDF with me. Try searching for it online I'm sure you'll find it. I also recommend it, it's very good. 1 Like |

ClassicMcGee: I found it tough at the beginning but with time I'm beginning to understand it now. My advice for you is to properly understand the concepts - don't cram try and understand it well - and also master all the repetition statements and selection statements very well. Take time to watch tutorials on YouTube, visit stackoverflow, Reddit java help section, w3resourse etc. Gather other Java materials, dedicate time and solve lots of problems. Good luck. 2 Likes |

ClassicMcGee: https://www.pdfdrive.net/java-how-to-program-d29026886.html @thread Java is a tightly typed language unlike python. Both have their strengths but I will always recommend Java to a beginner. Python abstracts so many foundational concepts from beginners leading them to type dirty (buggy) code later on. This is just my opinion, however. Good luck. 2 Likes |

ClassicMcGee:in my own case i first tried java then i left it learnt php and mastered it before i came back to learn java and i found learning java very easy |

shineforthmedia:wow! What made you abandon it in the first place? |

onwards: Thanks a lot sir! You just saved me a lot of stress... i really appreciate! I'm still in the dilenma: PYTHON VS JAVA... |
Re: Is It Advisable To Learn Java As My First Programming Language? by CodeTemplar: 4:08pm On Jun 01, 2018 |
ClassicMcGee:I an not a pythonista but I may drop one or tips then I recommend just any language if as you stated earlier harming yourself with a programming lang for implementations of ideas and school work is your goal. The most important thing you need is to have basic programming ideas like variables, constants, selection(if, if...else, and switch), then also looping(for, while, do...while). To me java is a deep language that is worth putting years into. If done properly it will position you for web programming, mobile programming, desktop, enterprise programming etc plus it can help start writimg apps in good time. To me java is in top 2 language. It is always java vs [another language] considering comparison of general purpose languages. 1 Like |

CodeTemplar: To go really deep into java and be a worldclass developer: a very good understanding of algorithms, data structures and some adv maths(probably will be taught in school)... I'm just trying to lay a good foundation before then. |

CodeTemplar: Can i learn enough to start earning(no matter how small) in a year? |
Re: Is It Advisable To Learn Java As My First Programming Language? by CodeTemplar: 5:03pm On Jun 01, 2018 |
ClassicMcGee:I doubt that especially as you are a student joggling it with studies. Though I never can tell your learning speed. |
Re: Is It Advisable To Learn Java As My First Programming Language? by CodeTemplar: 5:05pm On Jun 01, 2018 |
ClassicMcGee:Is Java programming part of your course schedule? If yes then learning it will aid those things you mentioned. |
Re: Is It Advisable To Learn Java As My First Programming Language? by ClassicMcGee(m): 8:57pm On Jun 01, 2018 |
CodeTemplar: yes it's part of our schedule... |
