I have bought : beginning Java 2 (Ivor
Horton) Java Programming Fundamentals(Seefeld) Java 2 a beginners
guide(Schildt) Java Data Objects(Ross) and a 4 dollar book Java 2
certification by (Sun). Although none of these books contain any
real examples. Show me something similar, and I can figure it out,
but when I have no starting point to even reference, it really
sucks. It is like trying to find  your way through the woods in the
dark! I have one month left. How can anyone learn  this kind of
programming, if there are no examples, nothing in the text  book, and
nothing in class? I would love to get through this and chalk it up
to a bad experience. If anyone can be of help, or send me in the
right direction, please contact me. I will see if I cannot locate
some of the books you mentioned. I just don't feel with the kind of
money I pay to attend this school that it should be done this way.
Everyone else is in the same boat.
