How long (assuming your doing like a hour a day) would it take to learn Java?

Kinda as the topic title says, but could you learn java in the span of a summer, assuming you study an hour a day, how long do all think that would take?

(And yes, everyone learns differently, but just assume a flat learning rate, or like a beginner?)

What do you mean by learn Java though? Just the language itself or the frameworks associated with it? I would say that you could the learn language syntax and features within a month.

Some folk are more adept than others. Allocate as much time as you can.

Ask any Programmer and they will probably tell you that they are still learning.

I've been scripting with Bash in Puppy Linux for at least 6 years.......well enough to create functional utility packages from the ground up, but I wouldn't consider myself to be an "expert". Far from it; I'm still very much a beginner, but I learn 'on the job', and tend to research/teach myself new aspects of Bash coding as & when I feel the need for them.

You're never finished with programming/coding, since due to differing abilities it's impossible to put a time-frame on it & say "Right; I now know it all..." As wee-eddie says, you're ALWAYS learning.

When I read a book or watch a video about something I often do not really understand it. Often if I try to use what I have learned I am not sure of what I am doing. I need time to analyze something and think about it and (also) read the documentation and try it out. All that takes time. I do not want to discourage you from trying but you need to ensure you really understand something prior to continuing.
