    Heya, If you are stuck, I am working with programming for a good while (10years), although it has been a good while since I worked with Java (I used to be certified ). I work with languages that are syntactically similar. If you send me a couple of areas that you struggling with I will at least be able to let you know if I can help.

    If there are specific areas of the course that you felt you didnt get a good handle on that might be a place to start.

    cheers

    Hi bellylint
    Thanks for the reply
    I'm struggling with the likes of searching and sorting (I get the concept but cant put it into code) also exception and file handling and action and event listeners.

    Professional java courses are expensive as they're generally aimed at companies. You're talking €1500 for a one week course, so I presume that's out the window.

    I develop in Java myself and can't recommend the book "Core Java" enough. It has extensive information on the topics you mentioned with the exception of the algorithms & data structures.

    When I first started development in Java, I found a lot of online resources a little daunting. Try picking yourself up a book in Java that will help with understanding some of the concepts.

    Others have offered help in understanding the language, but don't be afraid to drop me a PM either with a few questions. I won't do your work for you, but I'll help with some difficulties you may be experiencing.
