Question

I’m learning Java right now but I’m wondering if there is a “hierarchy of tree” in learning Java. Let me explain by giving an example,

So, beginner level in Java should start:
Java for dummies, etc…

Intermediate level in Java should start:
Ant, JDBC, Hibernate, Swing, Eclipse, etc…

Advance level…
J2EE, etc..

Also, it would be nice if there is a document that shows the interconnection between the topics. For example, it would be preferred to learn JDBC first before Hibernate…

Answer 1

You could do it the way sun would like you to learn through the Java Certifications.
