    Well, honestly, I haven’t updated this in a while. I just keep getting busy, and I didn’t finish the Java book.

    I am at an interesting, but difficult stage of my learning right now, and I can use some recommendations…

    I understand Object Oriented Programming. I understand classes, and objects, and instances, and extending objects, and methods and properties. I could write a program in an object oriented fashion without much difficulty.

    Java itself seems to be the issue. It’s mostly syntax issues I’m having still. I don’t completely understand the declarations the book I’ve been using is having me make, so I’m not sure which parts of what I’m using are actually doing what I want. This is making it very hard to stray at all from the book. If I make a slight change to anything, I seem to break the examples.

    I’m wondering at this point if there is an easier Object Oriented language, or at least a better Java book out there. Any suggestions?
