Schitzoboy Maniac (V) Inmate From: Yes Insane since: Feb 2001	posted 01-12-2005 00:02 I'm taking intro to OOP (object oriented programming) and I'm gonna need to learn java. We're gonna do a quick howto next class, but I'd like to get a head start. Any good Java tutorials? I couldn't find any in the FAQ
TwoD Nervous Wreck (II) Inmate From: Sweden Insane since: Aug 2004	posted 01-12-2005 15:45 I'm currently learning Java myself. I found knowing JavaScript pretty good helped me a lot. But it takes time to get used to importing classes for all objects you use.. Try visiting java.sun.com and download the latest Java Development kit and the documentations. I also higly recommend using Eclipse, it´s got a built-in compiler and it helps you track down bugs, it even has a dynamic "error-fix-suggestor" which gives you a number of solutions for errors discoverd when saving the .java file. (It automatically compiles your files on saving) /TwoD

You can try Scite. It does have syntax highlighting, that is what I use. The reason not to use and IDE is that you will get confused by the complexity and it will end up hurting your learning because you will be a little further away from the code. Java is pretty similar to all of the other structured languages. If you really want to learn try Thinking in Java. It is a free online book. It should take you through the whole process. If you have questions come back here and ask them. Good luck Dan @ Code Town

I agree with Warmage, while Eclipse is great, it adds a level of complexity at this stage which may be too much. Get used to handling java from the command line first before switching to an IDE. .:[ Never resist a perfect moment ]:.
