Is there something like "Learn Java in 15 minutes" for programmers knowledgeable in other languages? I'd like to see idioms, keywords, basic data structures described in a condensed form.


Closest I could find. https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffileadmin.cs...


Thanks! Everything looks very familiar. Is that's all to know about Java (the language)?


Certainly not. To understand what's possible with Java (the language), you should look over the extensive API available for use as well. This is what you get for free with Java.

I added the language because I am not interested in the libraries. I'm interested in the syntax and semantics.


Pretty much. If there's anything missing, you can usually assume C/C++ syntax. (reminder - no pointer distinctions in Java though)


I found this http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~harry/musings/JavaLang.html. Looks comprehensive.
