Hi I learned C/ C++ 8 years back and never used it. So just have the basic knowledge. Now I have started learning Java. I had a question, how much time does it take to learn this language? Initial Goal: My end goal is that I should be able to make a application which can scrap a dynamic website and store it in a Jason, Sql or excel format. Second Goal: To use the data which is scraped to publish it on a website. I am thinking since i will be learning java, I will use java to make the website too. I would like to know from members am i realistic and any suggestions on hrs/week I need to input.
First of all, why in the world would you use java (which always is a potential disaster security wise) to publish/parse a website? Second: depending on your intelligence and devotion, you can grasp concepts and such pretty fast. Getting from that point (where you CAN make an app) to the point where you're a good programmer (knowing why you shouldn't do the things you're trying to do that way) can take months or years.
