I am 30 years old and I have 7 years experience in system administration, networking. Due to economic downturn it is not so easy find jobs in this sector anymore. I am thinking to leave this career and start programming. I am interested in Java, However I have no programming experience at all. In university we have seen Java which was in 2001-2002. What do you suggest? keep on track on what experience I have or make u turn start a new path. Thanks
