I find that mimicking examples helped me to understand the favor of the language and learn what's posssible. If I came up against something I didn't understand, I'd hit the Javadoc or web resources. Of course, this mail list is full of friendly people who want to help. This is good advise for all but the "learning object-orientation" part of Java. A few things really do need to be learned in some kind of formal setting. A good class or, failing that, a good book is mandetory for this one. It's not as hard as calculus, but it is nontrivial enough that you really want to learn it from a good practitioner -- nothing will save you more time and grief. Getting started "procedurally" is OK because you really have no practical choice. But, make a commitment to learn object-orientation in some kind of formal manner. It's half the point of Java and it can really pay off big to you and your business. -- Larry Loen, Senior Programmer iSeries Java and Linux analysis
