Hello Florian,
I have both FB and Skype. Search Brandon Keith Biggs on FB and my name I 
believe is brandonboy17 on Skype. (I'm not sure, I usually add people...)
But I'm a music major wanting to do Java programming as a hobby and create Apps 
for the new PDAs that are coming out.
I really want the noobiest guide out there, that sais something like:
// means that all text to the end of the line is not recognized by the compiler.
The compiler is...

I can probably get on skype tomorrow, I'm heading to school now.
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs

Hello Brandon, 


Do you have any form of IM or perhaps skype? I would like to help you but it's 
easier for me to recommend something if i know a bit more about your 
background.

  Hello,
  I'm new to programming, (I have just made it past "Hello World") and am 
looking for some guides.
  I would like to learn Java, but I'm not quite sure where to start. I 
downloaded the 500 or so documents from the "Java Documentation" at:
  http://www.nonvisualdevelopment.org/node/20
  as well as reading all the tutorials on Eclipse and Java.
  I've installed the SDK 1.6 and Eclipse, is there anything else I need? I see 
there are Jaws scripts for Eclipse, where do I insert those?
  I arrowed through the 500 documents dealing with Java and found:
  Java Tutorial 3rd Edition, a short course on the basics
  but I see it was written in 2001 and only deals with Java 1.3 and Windows 
2000 and before. Is this something I should read? What books best describe the 
language in an exciting and useful format? I'm wanting to eventually program 
for Android, but I think that is stepping a little ahead of myself.
  Where do I start?
  Thanks,

  Brandon Keith Biggs
