Is Java programming easy to learn?

This question often appears on the newbies' mind: Is Java programming easy to learn?
Many people claim that Java Programming is Easy.

Well, the statement is both right and wrong. It is right if we are talking about Java language is a simple programming language, only consisted of several consistent syntax, often mentioned as lesser C++ (please correct me if I'm wrong). But at least its complexity is lesser than C++, much to admit. However, the language design is good, that's why Java language is easy to extend through libraries development containing class packages for specific needs.

And if we are talking about the documentations' readibilty, many beginners would find it is hard to learn Java syntax and their usage. I have to admit, when I started learning Java coding (and I admit that I should still be categorized as Java beginner), I often depended on a lot of tips and source codes shared by several kind-hearted advanced programmers out there. I needed a lot of copy paste of Java source codes, modify some lines to find out and conclude them by myself ... Ooh, that's what this syntax means!

So, based on my experiences as a Java programming learner, learning Java programming needs a lot of copy paste and modifying by the first time, and try it by yourself a lot of times, I emphasize on the need of code typing on our own to figure them out. That's why I feel the need of sharing the information I got about Java tips and codes in this site, because I know that searching them through google will still need a lot of clicks before we really find what we are seeking.

I hope this site will benefit your Java learning too, and hopefully, we can exchange Java tips in the future. Thank you so much for visiting this site.
