title: Learning JAVA Programming - Where's best to start...?
body: <p>I have a very basic knowledge of the Java language and how it works from reading the likes of Head First Java and the Dummies book.  I've not got to the end of either book as of yet and am really liking the Head First book as it is very useful and clear.</p>
  
  <p>My question though is, what is the best app to make as a first app to help learn Java?  Would it be something like a calculator, or maybe a simple address book where you can input people and then search for them to return their data?</p>
  
  <p>I'm just looking to put my knowledge so far to some use and having a bit of trouble thinking what a good App may be for a first app that will really help me as a beginner?</p>
  
  <p>Any help will be much appreciated!!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks
  Paul</p>
