I'd say the best place is outside in your garden with a couple of good books,
a beer, your cigarettes and no-one around to disturb you.

kind regards,

Jos

ps. books are almost forgotten but they're full of information and written down
knowledge. Read them.

There are some free Java classes here, in the Articles section, but your best bet is definitely books if you want to really know your stuff.

If it comes to books, I'd like to recommend The Java Programming Language;
it's straight from the guys who brought all this misery upon us ;-)

kind regards,

Jos

If you're looking for good & free digital books, check out Thinking in Java. You can get it as a printed book, but it contains much the same as the online version as that is what it originally was until some people thought, they'd like it printed.

Hi Death,

Try going to the sun website.

There is a good article in HowStuffWorks.com that teaches you from scratch. Try that one. Thats what I did before I took up at Uni.
