Thanks for contributing your friends' experience learning programming. I am a programmer-in-learning too, and when I first signed up for CodeYear, I really enjoyed going through the first few sections and was amazed I was going that fast. Then I stopped for a few weeks because things got busy, and when I returned I found that nothing had stuck. So I had to go skim through the beginning tutorials again and got a little bit farther. Now it's been a couple of weeks, and I remember nothing. So, I conclude, it's not really working as well as I thought it was. I am coming at this with knowledge of VBA, so I am guessing the helpful thing would be to find the comparable code in Java, then attempt to fill in the missing blanks and begin building up to the more difficult concepts from there. But I have no clue how to do that.
