SPbSTI(TU) My major of study at Institute is Computer Science and Engineering. My university is very bad in this field of science. Because of this I had started to learn programming by myself an year ago. I picked up Java language for beginning. At first I had tried to attend online interactive courses on Russian, but they were very bad and useless, so I used to be regret about my decision. After that I started to read books. Many of them were helpful and clear, but almost all of them were translated from English and translator sometimes has made a few mistakes. After all this I decided to learn programming with reading books in original.
