java programming motivation? i guess i'm an avid learner of java, but every time i try learning it, i find some concepts too difficult and then i sort of give up. or i'm preoccupied with schoolwork to completely devote my time to programming (still have the time to maple tho...) the question i'm asking is: how did you learn java, in the sense that how were you motivated to continue learning? how long did it take? i'm interested in the concept of learning computer science, because i'm very interested in computers and programming, and it may sound contradicting to say i love java when i can't even devote my own time to learn it, but i really want to get it down. any tips to stay on track? also, any books that explain java in a fairly easy way
