A common question: Can I learn programming?
I think any programmer with a job, or good skills in any language can say that they spent hours, days, weeks, months and years practising programming. If you want to learn programming as fast as possible, you should look at things like: Loops, Conditions, Classes, Function, Variables, Access modifiers, Arrays, Lists, and anything that you feel need attention. {Answer Continues in comments}

Step 1:
⢠Get everything your goals on a piece of paper, so that you can plan where you want to be.
Step 2:
⢠Get infront of your computer! You won't believe how many people just open their books and read through the topics, and yet expect to to good. This doesn't work.
Step 3:
⢠Follow quick tutorials that explain each topic.
Step 4:
⢠If you have a question... GOOGLE IT! Google is your best source of information when it comes to programming. You can search: " Java Class Constructor " and everything you need will be there.
Step 5:
⢠PRACTICE. Do the challenges in your book, on the internet or whatever source you can get.
Step 6:
⢠Don't give up! Just because your program doesn't work, doesn't mean it's a sign to give up. Search the Exceptions on the internet, and see what the program tells you about the problem.
Step 7:
⢠Rest... Don't exhaust yourself! You want to improve your skill in programming, not hate it. Take a break from it if you feel you can't anymore. Take a walk, eat something
This will not make you a professional in Programming in a short time, but you'll learn valuable skills in researching. To become a professional it will take dedication, passion and a lot of time.
Good luck!
