How does one learn Java

[MasterMind]

You will probably learn a lot more reading and doing stuff on your own. The courses I took sucked ass. They weren't Java specific though, even still, we had to learn to use it to do assignments and what not. There's a lot of stuff on the net to help you out as well if you're trying to learn on your own. I hate programming, so I have forgot most stuff, if I ever tried to program again, I would need refreshers.
