wanna learn JAVA the fun way:
Head First JAVA Kathy Sierra, Bert Bates (i bet even your colorful books wont be much fun to read with)


Yeah learn a bit MySql(would recommed to go for oracle) and PHP (for beginners), but if u learn JAVA then JSP(its like PHP) would be a job of one week to master (2hrs a day)

And if u want a drag and drop luxury then make a diversion to .NET.

i'm a 50% tooth doc atm.



i had learnt a couple of languages in 4th grade-the ones that are obsolete now.did oracle for about 3 weeks and NIIT closed in our city
i've also been forcing people to use linux since the launch of SUSE 9.1 and i think at least some still love it more than windows.and i could have made a win free area if only there were no asseblers giving pirated windows for free.

@T159 nice suggestion,thanks.gonna start java now
