pls where's best to go learn JAVA? i want an institute where i will be trained as well as be involved in real life solutions. am not interested in passing any exam or certificate, i really want the skill and know how. i feel learning java will be much faster that doing it on my own
Thanks

Then teach yourself!

Pray God you get a place where u find a guy who knows java,knows his agorithms and can teach.i am preparing to teach java,i got like close to fifty programming challenges on various programming challenge site solved to be thrown at my students.my assignment will be some sort of solving a real challenge online.my students will participate in solving real life projects i get.like am going to simulate an atm with finger print security on a destop gui.so friend,be ready to do 6 months continous and extended change of orientation.i will recommend thinking in java 4th edition by bruce eckel,official sun's online java tutorial and then u google a lot.

Please don't go to NIIT.
