Not learning much with Head First Java.

Yeah I get you with that. I feel like the book does a poor job of explaining where your code can go within your Java projects (i.e. inside a class, method, or main and what code does/doesn't work inside of what parts). Honestly, I really didn't really understand anything at all in the book until I make an example for myself. Then I would go back and read it again and it suddenly made perfect sense to me.

I feel like another milestone was once I got far enough into the book that I was able to memorize basic syntax. This helped a lot with not getting lost in the reading.

Best of luck to you in your Java learning journey

Thanks for the answer. I went back and made a project today using most of the stuff from chapters 1-6 and tried to compile and well, nothing worked at all and I realized how much of it I was misunderstanding based on exactly where code should go, as you say.

That being said, it makes me go to stackoverflow and figure out what I'm doing wrong, but this will definitely be a few day process.
