I've just completed my 1st yr at Uni and I am one of the students that struggle with Java compared to the techy types in my class. Is it not for me? Or am I doing something wrong? Is Java not for girls?

As far as HLL go java has a lot of abstraction which can really help compared to say C++. Read up on logic and abstraction. 'Thinking in Java' is a very good book but perhaps not for beginners. My advice, find a book you like the look of in your campus library, read through it at your own pace and make notes.
Keep going, we need more women in IT.
xenobyte72 shame on you.

Try .NET if u feel that java is too difficult.
Java is not only for techy type. In fact i think C++, C, Assembly, Perl are much more difficult to deal with.
In Uni scope i dont think u would have meet any difficult java question or assignment that only techy can solve.
Try to get some useful book like Head First Java, Head First ...,etc. This series of book is quite useful to open ur mind and provide fast understanding. Time is precious, dont waste it on some bible or dictionary type java book, it is only for reference.
Dont be unmotivated, Google is a leading com that lots of programmer desperately wanted to join it, yet the majority of the programmer there are female !
:) Have fun learning Java.

it relatively is a complicated to respond to question, i'm going to easily proportion my perspectives. Java has been around for say greater effective than 15 years. it relatively is platform self sustaining and device self sustaining. I mean there are not any regulations on the kind of device it may pass on, something from extensive servers to cellular telephones. that promises us a extensive sort of purposes working presently on all those structures. So whether Java have been to get replaced by some language, it would take yet another few years to change each app. So the destiny in question isn't close to than 10 years. i'm asserting this as a least available estimate as I actual have seen purposes that have been written in previous due eighty's nonetheless working around. it relatively is a multitude to maintain such legacy structures, yet then no person is somewhat keen on changing them. lower back, i do no longer make technologies so some thing new might already be on its way, in basic terms ingredient is i've got no longer seen it yet

Three of the 8 people in the team at work are female Java programmers.
Programming has certain things that take a while to click - not everybody can get it and some people are better at it than others.
One thing I do know is that the textbooks at uni's often aren't the best for learning, you might do better with a basic thing like "Head First Java"

I've just finished my degree in software engineering , so i know what it's like. Firstly i know a girl from last year that was at least as good as the guys in my class at programming, so its not just a gender thing. Secondly by the time you finsh next year you will feel a load more confident with java, especially if this is your first year using OO languages. So really dont worry, most people i know thought it was confusing to start but it WILL get easier , i promise = )

I'm a bloke and I can't get my head around any programming language. I can manage html, but its not the same.
That said I am very proficient with other aspects of IT support. Configuration, for example and hardware. I've been in the industry since I left Uni with an electronics qualification and I love it.
Perhaps I should mention that I am CLAIT, A+ and ITIL qualified.
Still I'd love to get my head around programming. Scripting at least.

Tongue in cheek time, whats wrong with a nice sink and a bowlful of washing up. A vacuum cleaner, and getting hubby 'is dinner. are not these the things for a girl!!
Seriously though, why do you think that the having, or not of a penis is obligatoire or other, to do or not something?
Dont speak too loudly, my wife will want me to wash up!!!

It isn't easy. A lot of techies don't like it! A *certain* type of techy loves it however. Being a girl is of no relevance!

if you will say that java is not for girls, it's just as if you're saying that only boys have good comprehension skills. maybe your interest is just not on that topic. teach yourself to love the subject and you will notice it would be easy for you to understand it then.
