Learning Java...

Soooooo my employer tells me that I will never NOT have a job and will get paid high six-figures if I can learn Java at some point.

I'm a TOTAL beginner. Can you guys give me any tips, words of wisdom, or good places to go to learn Java programming or object oriented programming?

Floats and doubles cannot accurately represent the base 10 multiples that we use for money. This issue isn't just for Java, it's for any programming language that uses base 2 floating-point types.

In base 10, you can write 10.25 as

1025 * 10-2

(an integer times a power of 10). IEEE-754 floating-point numbers are different, but a very simple way to think about them is to multiply by a power of two instead. For instance, you could be looking at 164 * 2^-4 (an integer times a power of two), which is also equal to 10.25. That's not how the numbers are represented in memory, but the math implications are the same.
