worst advice for starting programmers

do you have common knowledge of programing? or are you starting from square one?

If you have a understanding of structuring a language then go ahead and jump into something like Visual Basic or C++, depending if you want to program object oriented or not...

but if you have no knowledge, start with something easy like Pascal, just to learn how to structure things...

Alex broke it down pretty well...

There are a lot of legitimate criticisms of Java in general and Swing in particular, but the naming of classes is a very silly one. All focusing on it demonstrates is an ignorance of the actual problems.
