Whats the best way to learn?

You're going to want to start with another language. Java can be pretty hard but once you get the grasp of it, it really makes sense. And for me anyways, the computer languages really tie down to each other if you really think about it.

I recon you start with something a little easier. I'd say try html and css first. Yes, they are for website creation, but they can use javascript elements inside of them. The javascript is identical to actual java to my knowledge.

But what do I know? I'm only thirteen years old.

Good luck, Partner.

I have one question about the book. Whats the difference between regular and international edition?

OP, so you have next to no background in programming and you want to start with Java?
I dunno, you could get one of the books (found in libraries, school or not).
Or you could design a project, and google things as you go...
or start with another language:
good Python tutorials here

Thats like saying: people are all the same, they have arms and legs and everyone got a head.

there are really big differences:
- VB is only for Windows
- Java can be run on every machine, no matter which OS
- VB is generating intermediate code
- Java generates binary files
- and much more, but as Duubz said that are details

So this is an even bigger missunderstanding of those two languages, because:
Java is Objectoriented and JavaScript is Objectbased
Thats a difference like black and white.

Code:

Example Java: ObjectX x = new ObjectX; Example JavaScript: var x;

JavaScript doesnt even knows what an userdefined Object is.
And the name is just a fad.

Happy learning and have a nice day,
