And ten days. I am taking the Computer Science AB exam and I need to relearn Java. Is anyone else taking this exam, and are there any online resources that are particularly good (yes, I can google, I want to know if you found gems) that would help me prepare for this exam?

^ Obviously you've seen it, but the web-site is so comprehensive it's amazing. Everything from heavy documentation to well explaned tutorials.

I have to learn java in two weeks for an invitational competition my school is going to. The worst part is, I've never done java before, but there is no one else who knows java who can go.:(

If you know C or Javascript you will be well on your way to Java. Do yourself a favor and buy one of those learn ___ in 24 hours books. They are quick references and they realy are helpful in helping to get going fast (I use one for ASP [horrid language]).

heeb, word of advice: you don't need to learn anything past anything you already know from other languages except

• Data structures -- meaning LinkedList, BST, Hash tables, stacks, queues, especially the implementations of the base classes etc
• Order analysis (analysis of efficency of algorithms) .. this is a biggie. Big-O, it's called.
• Algorithms -- searching/sorting algortithms, like Selection sort, Insertion sort, Mergesort, Heapsort, Quicksort .. this is tied closely with order analysis. This is also a pain to think through
• Marine Biology Case Study. You'll have to buy an AB prep book for this. It's a pain, but you need to know the ins and outs of it.
