Certainly there are many many ways out there on how to learn a programming language. But did you ever hear about learning a new language by hearing (ie. reading) a camp fire story? No? Sure you didn’t!

The guys of JavaRanch.com try to accomplish just that:

Grab your marshmallows and a stick and gather ’round the campfire for some Java stories. The Ranch writers won’t be winnin’ any literary prizes, that’s fer sure. But ya still might learn a thing or two.

I find this approach very refreshing and I’m sure some of you dealing with certain more technical description will enjoy the casual written, funny illustrated yet informing stories.

So hop on your horse, ride on over to the ranch and give it a read @
