...Primitive values - any good tips
(eg - byte 8 bits, short 16 bits etc....)
any good websites / refreshers to help with converting bin to hex and so on?

Well always remember that the signed primitives have one less positive value than negative.
5.0 you don't need to worry as much about this than say the 1.4 exam.

Here is a formula to calculate the value range for primitive data types - byte to long.
Value Range = (-2^n-1) to (2^n-1)-1 where n is the size in bits.
So this is how it works.
Variable Type Size(in bits) Value
byte 8 (-2^7) - 2^7-1 (-128 to 127)
short 16 (-2^15) - 2^15-1(-32768 to 32767)
int 32 (-2^31) - 2^31-1
long 64 (-2^63) - 2^63-1
