Well, perhaps you can find a mentor to help you understand your holes and how to fill them.

Do it slow and methodically. Don't try to cram to fill all the holes at once. Go slow. Identify one hold and learn how it is filled. Do examples, write a small program to get practice. Ask someone to review your code.

Programming now-a-days is a marathon, not a sprint. Programmers need a pretty deep understanding of their language of choice along with how to use it correctly. I think the last piece lacks in a uni education alone.

Practice, practice, practice. I don't know java or I would offer to help. If you get around to C or C++, email is in my profile.

Thank you, will definitely try something along that path.
