Resources to learn JAVA

Name: Anonymous 2013-07-06 17:44

Hello /prog/ next semester I'm going to have an OOP class and we're going to use JAVA the "problem" is we'll have to learn JAVA by ourselves since the teacher will only explain OOP stuff and won actually teach us the language. The question is what are good resources to learn the language?

P.S. I don't know if it matters but i have some experience with C.

Languages and vocabulary are only a vector of knowledge, not the knowledge itself. Intelligence comes in many flavors and has just as many definitions, to wit, but not only:
- Inherent abilities to understand abstraction
- A vast amount of knowledge
- The understanding of what underlies that knowledge
- The ability to create more knowledge
Our society doesn't need more mindless parrots soaking in information and spitting it out, without truly understanding what it represents.
We need people who understand the essence of that knowledge, and most of all how it is applicable in real life situations, as abstract as they may be.

That's the way we will progress, not by teaching words, but by teaching material and entrepreneurship.
Hertzfield, Woz and Atkinson were without a doubt more knowledgeable than Jobs about computers and programming.
Whether you think so or not, the latter is the one who made the difference and who truly changed our world. He did because he's the one who realized that perennity often matters more than details.
