So one thing that I want to point out, many, many tutorials and books for coding teach bad design practices or provide code that is overly verbose, to make instruction in a particular element clearer. Java is particularly troubled by this imho. So if you are going to use code you find, you should look at good code. I recommend code from a mature open source product.

This is one reason why I skipped Java and went right to learning Python and Ruby (after background in C). As a beginner, there was no context, no way for my n00b self getting into OO programming to sort the good Java from the cruft.
