I've now gone through two courses of Java-programming in my university and while I feel I know the basics of the syntax and object orientated programming, I'm a little frustrated that I don't really know how to program anything usable or sensible. Knowing how to program Game of Life or how to implement interfaces isn't exactly an adrenaline rush.

So do you have any advice where to go from here towards actual programming?

There's no "golden path" when it comes to programming. Just practice... alot, start small and work towards bigger projects, find out what works / is effective and read up on things you'd like to be able to do in your apps and apply them. Sort of generic advice, but programming is a pretty big subject that it's impossible to have "do this, then do that".

Yeah, I guess I'll just think of something and start coding.

Don't say orientated.

I'm actually pretty impressed how stupid I made myself seem but I guess I'm just not linguistics orientated enough.
