Q: How long will it take me to become a Java programmer?A: Hard to say. It depends upon your background and your hard working. I think it will take you at least 6 months if you don't have any programming experiences. If you want to enjoy the high salaries of Java programmers, you need first spend some time on preparing your skills.

Q: To learn Java, do I need some C++ backgrounds?A: No. If you have C++ background, you can carry some of C++ concepts into your Java learning. Java can be thought of as a simplied C++, so you can learn it directly, even you are a layman for IT industry. Jabber did not know C++ well as he began to learn Java. He did not find any necessities to learn C++ first.
(But now Jabber is studying C++ seriously.)

Q: Jabber, can you tell me your experience in learning Java?A: Yes. Grab a book. Type the example code into my computer. Compile it. Run it. Make things work first. Then I have a feeling of achievement. Now try to understand the code from the
very beginning to the end.
After that, I try to modify the code piece by piece and see what happens.
Finally, I ask myself: When will this piece of code useful? Should I forget this example?

Q: Jabber, what do you mean by "high-level"?A: "High-level" does not mean "advanced". In IT industry, people means "not-detailed" by "high-level".

A: You are absolutely right! It is the same PATH problem but it has a different error message.
