Learning APEX and the force.com platform

WIthout a significant background in programming, how realistic would it be to learn Apex and about how much time would I need to commit to prepare for the developer certification training (for a reasonably intelligent individual)?  Should I start with Java or can I jump right into Apex?

 

To give you an idea of my background, I've studied javascript and have made my way around basic php but nothing too daunting.

 

Thanks for any help.

I would like to know about this as well.

Hi,

 

With the minimal Java coding knowledge, you can start learning apex.

 

You can start with "Apex Tutorials, SOQL, SOSL, Force.com Apex Developers Guide". It might take a maximum of three months to get familiarized with Apex and take the developer certification exam(after developer training).

 

Thanks

Sureka

Thanks Sureka.

 

Any other Apex developers willing to chime in?
