I assume thats a question to me?
Java is a language. You can write arguably crappy java that is not Object Oriented.
You should be learning how to program using objects, thinking in objects and how they interact (interfaces) and then writing that plan/thought in java.
The important thing about programming in OO is the design, the language, especially as a beginner, is irrelevant.
So my question is, do you know what you are trying to do and just cant get it to compile in Java; i.e. is your problem java specific or are you just not understanding Objects and all that stuff? (Which is a mental shift for most people, but when it clicks you will "get it" so dont worry)
Yes it was sorry
It must be the OO because i've been doing Java for months and it still hasn't "clicked"0 -

I've been doing Java for four years and it still hasn't clicked! I'm about to graduate from a computer science degree in just under 2 months and i've never made sense of Java! Horrid stuff altogether!0 -

The Java tutorials
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/
(the "Getting Started")
are pretty good too
I have gotten that book from the library thanks 0 -

How did you get by without knowing it ?
To be honest i'm not sure! Ive always done really well in CAs etc and have got a first in programming most years but i have had a lot of help from friends who are gifted programmers and help from the teaching faculty! I'm paying for all the help this year though, network programming in Java has been the bane of my life! Java Corba and RMI 2 technologies that are so old they are hardly used according to a number of professors i've talked to about it but i literally havent a notion what is going on! Might as well be learning Chinese! Luckily the modules are 70% CA so you can get a first before ever sitting an exam! Its a joke in reality because there will be a ton of under-qualified developers leaving my course but i'm not complaining, i just want my piece of paper and ill stick to the design industry!
+1 for those saying to get the head first Java book though, i actually bought it the summer of first year but after about chapter 3 i lost all interest! Pure laziness but meh! I much prefer the web technologies i can work with! Scripting languages like JavaScript and jQuery are a lot easier to work with! I'm a lost cause for OOP! although i do have a little PHP which i hope to develop but only to build Wordpress sites!0 -
