Hi! Thanks a lot!

Well, yeah, of course I have a goal. In a year me and wife are planning to become parents and it's going to be hard to live only on my wage (don't know, lots of people talking that money can't be a good motivation, but I can't agree with that (: ).

Currently I'm learning Java and it's quite easy (I'm on the arrays part right now), but Udemy courses definitely not enough, so I get Schildt's complete reference and Head first.

I think that I will make through it, 'cause it's not the first time when I'm trying something completely different in my life. I have studied machines and equipment once I was at the university, but when I graduated I understood that this is not what I wanted to do in my life, so I grabbed some books (have to mention that I had a lot of free time then), installed CAD programs that I would like to learn and here I am - mechanical design engineer! =) Once I figured out that designing sometimes involves basic programming (often it is based on VBA), I cathced oneself that it is quite interesting and I used to think that this is the starting point!

Thanks a lot again for kind words and have a lot of good time in your life! =)
