Hi,
I'm from a VB background but am having to learn Java for a new project
we have at work.
Can anyone suggest a decent way to learn it (and fairly fast). Will be
using JBuilder 7, have a few manuals on my desk but basically have no
idea where to start.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Simon
