Read some books about Java.
And practice.
After 5-10 years you will be good at it.
I disagree. In 5 years, they'll radically change everything you need to
know to be a Java programmer and you're back to square one.
Not at all.
Java is pretty good at keeping compatible, so old stuff will
still work.
And Java is somewhat mature, so it is not changing so
fast anymore.
Java EE 6 has started clearing out the cruft. Old stuff will start to
break soon.
So far, it seems like it. *knocks on wood*
But as we learn more as a programming community, Java will have to
evolve to keep up.

I don't see any evidence of fast evolving languages living
longer than slowly evolving languages.
LISP
Lew said:Fortran.
COBOL
????
Lisp is only standardized once.
Fortran takes at average 10 years between each new version.
Cobol about the same.
So I see them as good examples of very slow evolving and very
long living languages.
Lew said:Exactly so. We are evidencing your point. I proffered Fortran as an
example of exactly what you said.

Standardized once, but hardly slowly evolving.
Travers said:That's still pretty fast evolution for a language. The C family (C/C++/etc.)
don't seem to update as frequently as FORTRAN.
Travers said:Slowly evolving and continuing its slow decline.
"Don't seem"? This is a matter of objectively verifiable fact.

Is it declining, slowly or otherwise? Is it going away?

write programs in modern FORTRAN that don't look like anything in the
