How does one learn Java

I see there are tests you can take to be a certified programmer, but what do you have to do to learn in the first place. One course? Two courses?

Read a book, thats how I'm learning I recommend java for dummies

Yeah, a book is the only good REAL way to learn Java. That's how I did it.

Courses work too.

I got my Java book for $2.

Take a course at your local community center or college if they offer it.

its usually 2 courses to finish it.

I love programing, and am quite good at it, but thoes 2 semesters were the most painful ever. i HATE the java language, it has some very crappy quirky things in it, and is very slow.

but yes. 2 courses would do :P

Dear god are the courses bad, I only took one and then tested out of the other because it was soo boring, I read the book in my down time mind you so..
