So I started Uni and we do Java, any tips for beginners?
One thing that I always like to remember is that concepts come before syntax. Understanding the basic ideas of computer science is what makes you a programmer, not knowing all of the Java or C++ syntax.
Make sure you understand concepts like loops and if statements really well. It will make it easier to learn new languages, it will help you keep up with changes in technology instead of getting caught up in details, and it will make you an overall better programmer!
