right guys, i need opinions from all you computer-science type people out there! as some of you will know i'm in 4th year of a physics degree, which means its honours project time! one of the options (the one i'm most interested in) involves programming in java. now, i've never done any java before, & i'm wondering if its something that i could pick up without to much bother, or if it'll become the bane of my existance over the next 6 months & i should therefore run as fast as possible in another direction! so yeah, any opinions would be useful!

when i'm dancin' with you,
tomorrow doesn't matter,
turn that music up,
till the windows start to shatter,
cos you're the only one who can get me on my feet,
& i can't even dance

I had to learn java over summer before starting 3rd year (comp sci) and i'm getting the hang of it. Although i'd already being programming in different languages for 2+ years so that would have made a difference. It really depends on how heavy the programming actually is.

Very easy to pick up. Due to being an object-oriented language, it will probably feel quite natural to you. Of course, it depends on the complexity of what you want to achieve with it, but I think you can master it in about 2 weeks, if you really want to learn it. There are books like "Learn Java in 21 Days" you can buy, and you can do a couple of "days" per day, so you can learn it pretty fast.
