Anyone Wanna Give Me A Hand With Java? - A good place to use as reference?

Sep 14 2005, 11:21 PM

I'm taking my first year in a programming class in high school, computer science AP 1, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good website that I could be able to use as refernce, sort of a newbie guide to learning java, I'm currently trying to do a lab where we create a bank account, then contruct methods to be able to deposit, withdraw, and getBalance......most of the time the teacher just shows us a very NOT informative Power Point and ruishes us into the assignments, and I need to pass this class so i can start in Comp Science 2 in College, and also so I can start with a little bit of programming knowledge, and if anyone knows of a site, i'd greatly appreciate it (I'm not looking for a website with the labs already done for you, but just a guide for learning)

Thanks

You can learn from Tutorial from www.java.sun.com or buy book

Here are the book names

A. Java In Two Semesters (ISBN: 0077098048)
B. Java How to Program DEITEL & DEITEL(ISBN: 0130341517)
C. Java 2, Complete Reference

Plus there are so many tutorial on web...in bits ans peices, just search.

Yea, i was doing a console, we use BlueJ in class to write out any assignment that we dont handwrite, I like it because it's easier to compile instead of just trying to run it. We start with an existing program, so I dont know if i would be able to get help as I'm not able to distibute it because its on the computers at school, and im at home right now.

But all we pretty much have to do is ass a method called "addInterest" with one parameter called "rate" data type double. And we have to make other various desicions such as whether to make these private or public, accesor or mutator. I know and understand how to use all these but the only thing i was never good at was using test classes for contructing methods, and to my understanding if you make it private then it is only accessable by the class that it is in.

Anyways, i dont want to bother anyone personally, as im sure it would be easy for most veterans to achieve, and we have a book we get for reference and practice "Computer Concepts with Java: Advanced Placement Study Guide" The only thing that i personally see with this book is that it only covers material on the AP exam at the end of the year.

And thanks, i checked out the tutorial and it was helpful quite a bit itself.

The book I highly recommend is Java: How to Program by Deitel & Deitel. It's a very good reference book and has really helpful sample programs like the banking system you're working on.

About your program, you should decide first if you'll go for a flat-file system using objects or a database using SQL and a backend database program like MSAccess or SQL Server. I suggest you use a database now since it would be difficult to transfer data from a file to a database later. But if your teacher asks you to do it using a file system then it's all right.

well if it's any consolation, i know how you feel about finding it hard to learn with the format of your classes.

anyways, there's a guy named Fred Swartz who wrote some decent tutorials, not quite my thing but definately a good quick-reference. his site is leepoint.net/notes-java/.

also, i have had great experiences with a company called gametutorials, they used to have great free coding tutorials. unfortunately, you have to pay for them now, but their stuff is still really good. they claim that they have java tutorials coming soon. in any case, their website is www.gametutorials.com.

personally, i prefer to learn from a book. i got a hold of 'the complete idiot's guide to java 2' for $20 (Australian) and it's really good.

ok cheers
good luck!

instant communication between client-side and server-side. It's like changing a page's
