Is there a better way to learn java/VB?

<p>I’m glad you are sticking through it and learning outside of the classroom to do better. I always found it frustrating as a tutor when people don’t take initiative and expect information to be spoon fed to them. You on the other hand decided to take the bull by the horns and ride it so kudos to you. </p>

<p>I remember one of my college professors telling me that only 10% of students can understand and code easily from just taking a class or reading a book. The other 90% needs to work harder at it. While I believe this is true, I also think that applies to every profession/career. </p>

<p>Good luck with the rest of your college life. Keep riding that bull!</p>
