I downloaded the PDF version befor buying, it was terrible i couldn't be assed to read.
I unfortantly don't know any other programming languages, im not too sure, could you give me like a project i could work on, like some ideas? Cheers big ears x

Haha, so why buy it if you didn't like it?
I would try to give you ideas, but you didn't answer my question "what sort of stuff are you interested in?", I asked you for a reason
I've never tried to learn java myself though, so I may struggle to come up with ideas, but I can try

Oo, i just didn't like reading from a PDF, because i didn't have to read it. With a book i HAVE too read it, because i paid money for it, if you know what i mean.

And im interested in gaming?

Yeah, I understand what you mean

Hmm first idea would be to read through stuff like this - http://www.javacooperation.gmxhome.d...lStartEng.html to learn some stuff and then come up with your own idea for a simple game.
If you're more interested in console gaming, I believe there are methods of accessing information from xbox live and whatever the playstation alternative is called, so you could try pulling up some of that information and processing it somehow, like making interesting graphs or something (I'm not sure what information is available or what java is capable of).
Do some googling to see what other people choose to base their first java projects on and try some of their choices out

There are other people on this forum with java experience who would probably be much more help.

A good book that I used when I first started at university was 'Objects First with Java' it's a book based on the free online IDE BlueJ (Google it, it's free!) it's easy reading and for complete beginners. There are tutorial exercises to do as well!.. That's how I understood the basics.

But to be honest I haven't learnt java in years... so you're not going to learn it in 21 days i'm afraid! It takes loads of time, dedication and practise!
