I dumb with computers
I need someone to recommend a book or something.
I'm doing well learning Java, it's a lot like C++, which I already kinda knew.
I think the problem is I learned how to program years before I ever got a computer of my own. My parents didn't think buying computers was a good idea until I was a couple of years into college.
I learned basic from my TI85, pascal in a highschool class, and took a C++ class in college.
The Java book I've got now walks me through the programming concepts nice and slow, but then it says things like "put those three things in the same directory and make that your working directory" and such...such as the things with the PATH environment variables and DOS things, and they don't say how to do these things at all. I know I need some kind of book, but I don't know where to look for the kind of info I need. I've tried looking in those sorts of computers for idiots books, but they are way below what I need...telling me how to double click and how to minimize a window. Really, I'm very confussed. I'm sure I could be writing great programs by now if I knew where to look to get this sort of info.
Help?
Bah, this keyboard hurts me. bye!
