At some point, I am going to learn computer programming — as in C/C++ and/or Java. I’ve never thought about serious programming, but some basic knowledge of the field would be useful for many professions.
If anyone wants to offer any help or tutorials or documentation resources, I’d be very thankful.
Here’s a video about Java by Sun to promote its uses beyond merely desktop applications.

Wow, it’s been a while since I last checked here.
If you want to learn Java, I definitely recommend it. (Somehow, I thought you already were a proficient programmer. Hmm.)
If you need help with anything Java related, let me know and I’ll try to help you. (Hah.) The best reference I can think of (besides the online help files) would be Mr Ridout’s textbook — it really explains all you need to know for basic Java, and extending your scope after that is really easy.

Right, so the text in question is http://www.richmondhill.hs.yrdsb.edu.on.ca/ics3m/JavaText.pdf.

That is correct.

Really? Please try it again. I’m having no trouble playing it.
