I'm new to Java

[Arkie]

Haha it's ok that you are new into java. We all started somewhere and you come to the right place to learn java.

And yes, i accidentally posted the same thing here twice. I used to post here with the name "deAppel" but changed my username to "HappyFace"

Yeah I just checked that out then I saw the same thing again 

Yeah I've just got "Head First Java" from my uncle, only problem its 600+ Pages :(

That's a nice bookyou got there indeed, i personally recommend that book for people that just started Java. I also recommend other "head first" books such as


These books are easy to read and easy to understand. If you have a specfic question you can also post it here on the forums so we can help you with it or browse the forum and look if your question hasn't been answered already by someone else

Thanks for showing us that, very helpful (Well, I doubt I'll ever use it, but you know, now I'm learning java it might just come in handy )
