  The only thing I walked away with after I learned java as part 
of a programming course, was how polymorphism and interfaces 
worked in OO programming.

  I just really wish they would change their courses for 'this is 
inheritance with animals!' which although logically makes sense 
(in a dictionary wikipedia way) but structurally and 
programming-wise doesn't. Describing it as a building block for a 
game (like item) would have made much more sense.
