Well, it turns out that I can use a digital copy of Head First Java for free through work. That solves the whole buying the book dilemma. Also, in order to get a PDF copy of this book, I need to buy it directly through O'Reilly at a price that is higher than Amazon.com's version. However, Amazon.com's version is not able to be read on a kindle device or any kindle software reader other than a PC or Mac. Brutal! Still, I can read this through work resources so no big deal "anymore"...
I'm on to day two. I'm organizing my notes by chapter. So the link to Day 1 works just fine here too if you want to follow along with me. So far, It's all still all rather basic though I can see some incling of things to come. I've started to rewrite the code samples and compiling them to see how they work, as well as making one or two test .java files to see how java code reacts. Specifically the (int) type caster.
Some random bits... I really need to cut my nails. They are way too long to be typing with. I can't believe how poorly I type now. I remember being able to hit the {} and the [] keys without any problems, but even typing those just now took three tries. Lets not even mention the + and the - keys and the need for (). I keep screwing them up. It's like I need to take Mavis Beacon teaches typing all over again. Sheesh!
