Objects first with Java

What Hacker News says

   Thanks for this. I've had a similar experience with learning how to program, having taken courses and doing examples which have had no clear purposes.

   I'm 22 now and finally feel like I'm headed in the right direction with the help of BlueJ and a book called "Objects First with Java". It may not be 'whimsy', but I appreciate the fact that it helps me visualize the concepts of OOP.

   I recognize the feeling of insatiability, as I keep wanting to learn more and more now, all thanks to brilliant resources.

   BlueJ is a pretty good solution to this since it lets you play around with objects and methods before you ever have to write public static void main etc. In fact, in "Objects First With Java", the book we used in my first Java class, the main method isn't even introduced until chapter 7.

   Then I guess you haven't suffered through introductory programming texts like "Objects First With Java".
