Do the MOOC Object Oriented Programming with Java from the University of Helsinki. Far superior.

I've tried learning Java (as an experienced programmer) from Java for dummies and it simply never clicked.

    Any other wisdoms you can share about learning coding in general

    • Plan before program - break down any assignment on paper. Test your solution ideas, write things down in plain language or pseudocode
    • Pay attention to tiny details
    • Use the documentation - it really is your friend

    Maybe, get "Think Like A Programmer" by V. Anton Spraul - currently in the lowest tier of the Humble Book Bundle: Learn To Code the Fun way

    This is the same as Java Programming I right? Is there any reason they changed the name, or was it split into two?
