I've started to learn Java (and I actually understood most of it) but just gave up cause I found more interesting things to do and it seemed that I never could make time for it. But now I've got plenty of time and want to learn to program again. There doesn't seem to be as much documentation (so I'm a little confused as to how one'd go about learning it) as in some other languages but it is very easy to read and looks very pascal-like (I know because I've been looking at quite a few languages). What do you think? Thanks, Kyle
