Java learning procedure?

ok i wnt insight from a java programmer c++ whoever has been around it for awhile .......... Im going for my degree in information and data security but i like the programming world. So independently im gonna take some classes but i have seen as i been trying to learn it that there is alot involved scripting need to be known in the unix/windows world also a knowledge of html, xml E.T.C. is essential. Somebody who has experience programming with java give me some insight on what is essential in learning this language or concept i should say even if that means math classes that pertain to programming

Java learning procedure?
If you had to learn encryption theory in order to get your "information and data security" degree, then you should have enough math to learn any programming language you want.





If not, if you just had to learn about the major PKE packages, security techniques, common attacks, how they work, what their strengths and weaknesses are, etc. I would recommend a good solid background in mid-level college algebra, something that covers the basics of boolean algebra and gets you used to working with abstract expressions.
Reply:One of the most important things in information and data security is communication, so practice the phrasing on your questions. Seriously! Most security folks spend a lot of time communicating in e-mail, face to face, and on the phone!





I think from a programming standpoint, know how the various types of encryption work, and how to create an encrypted channel through data communication. Understand the issues around data at rest and data in transit.
