Experienced programmers: Is java difficult to people who have programmed 
for 5+ years with some sort of procedural-language and then move to java?
In 2000, I moved from a C/assembly job to a Java position (having never 
written a line of Java) and had no trouble making the transition.  I feel 
that most of the knowledge that took me from my early level of "competent" 
to "good" (which probably took a couple of years) didn't actually have 
much to do with Java syntax.  In the beginning, you can always google 
whatever you're trying to do (i.e. "java sort"), so memorizing the 
libraries isn't something I'd worry about.  Honestly, there's just too 
much out there to remember it all.  In addition to the stuff that comes 
with the JDK, you'll use many open source utilities like Apache Commons in 
real world Java apps.  Just write as much Java code as you can and you'll 
eventually memorize the things that you commonly use.

If you want to become a truly useful Java developer, I'd recommend 
learning the basics of OO and JUnit (unit testing), getting comfortable 
with a good IDE (I use Eclipse), and focusing on writing human-readable 
code.  That's going to put you ahead of the majority of people with whom 
I've ever worked.  There are plenty of good books out there, but I found 
Robert Martin's /Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and 
Practices/ really made a lot of sense to me WRT some of the non-syntaxy 
stuff that I'm talking about.
