Learn Java

Question

Can I learn Java in a month? And what should I do?

Answer 1

Is there a particular reason why you'd need to learn it within just one month? That's like asking if you can learn math within a month. You can certainly learn a lot within a month, but it won't be on an expert or professional level. Just like with math, it's something that you learn about for years and over time you master the skill as you put it into practice.

How I learn:
- Read through entire language even if you don't understand fully.

- Practice what you can.

- Read through it again and write down any concept you don't fully understand yet.

- Extensively research and practice what you wrote down.

- Read through it again and repeat process until you no longer have to write anything down.

Just like any skill, you'll only get out of it what you put into it so if you don't practice it and put the time/effort into learning it, you won't get far in the process of mastery in it. In my opinion, it's worth the time and effort if it's something you enjoy doing. If it's not something you enjoy, you'll be miserable being a programmer the first time you sit around spending hours to days trying to figure out why something isn't working as you want. Most people quit programming before they even get good at it. Also, remember that it's something you'll always be learning more about and you'll continue to learn further as the times change. Don't hesitate to ask others for help and never stop learning.
