<p>First some background. I've recently gotten into coding and programming thanks to some friends, and would very much like to challenge myself by self-studying for the AP Java exam in May. Currently I know the basics of HTML and CSS, and have assisted in building a functional website for one of my clubs. I have no knowledge of C++, visual basics, or python (as they're all similar? To java)... but, I'm eager to learn. </p>
<p>I've got exams for the next week or so, so i'll be starting to learn java (using net beans, possibly an MIT OCW course, and the almighty YouTube) after. Do you think learning java is doable in the ~3 months that I have to prepare? Should I buy a prep book like Barron's as well? Thanks and make it a great day!</p>
