Programming help (Java)
Hey, I've been having trouble learning this language. Is there a help centre dedicated for offering any type of help? - Ideally for the programming courses that ECE/CompSci/SWFR offer.

There may be better ones out there but those are some he offers for help, he also recommended a book called JavaScript The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford who is apparently an expert in JavaScript and developed JSON.
Javascript is not Java. Completely different. Don't get confused.

As far as learning Java, some great tutorials are listed here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/

Sorry, I must be slow today. I know JavaScript is not Java, I actually thought the post said JavaScript.

Are you having trouble with the actual language ( ie syntax ) or with the OOP concepts being presented?
