does anyone know of any good websites with free java tutorials for people without a lot of prior coding experience? i've read some tutorials, but every one i read starts making references to C and C++... well i don't know either of those so it gets really really confusing really really fast. ive downloaded the sdk but that is it.... i know a pretty good amount of php and a tiny bit of perl but those are procedural languages so i dont know if they even helpe me at all with an OOP language like java.
One of the tier 1 programming papers I took at uni taught us java but it was using a custom application called blue j. That approach took us into learning about OOP first because thats what it java uses. So you got taught comcepts about OOP but if I was to go and try write java code now I wouldnt know where to begin as I only been taught the concepts of OOP in the book.
I've only gone through 100 pages of it so far but I can see where this approach is handy because if you cannot understand how objects are created and used then it would be very hard to program in java. The syntax is very stricted unlike php so it can throw alot of errors thats where the book and blue j helped. I think most tutorials on java would expect you to know abit about OOP or even C or C++.
My advice for learning java or c++ for that matter is to go out and invest that 30 dollars or so in a good book on it. The reason is that if you just use websites, you will be constantly trying to find them and most likely not learn the language fully / in a style that is consistant with the professional ideas. Plus, the book you buy will make for a great reference later on in your programming. I have been programming in C++ and Java for over 8 years now and i still refer to the books i have used to learn the languages whether it was on my own, high school, college or in a career. They just are more tangible and easier to located code segments / descriptions of many functions.

that makes sense... i also feel like a book would be easier to learn from because it has to be written to teach well enough that people will buy it.... i would hope.
so then, the question that lends itself to be next... what is a good java book?
If you know most of the concepts of Object Oriented Programming, learning any language becomes easy.
I have only used tutorials and the references they have on the Java site, and I think I'm learning it fine. I started out a long time ago (not that long, I'm only 18) doing QBasic, then I learned some C and C++, then when I went from that to Java, it was really easy. the hardest part for me was finding a good IDE, because using the command line just sucks for me. But then I found Eclipse, and it's pretty much the easiest programming experience I can remember, except, maybe, for Actionscript with Adobe Flash CS3
iv'e decided to wait until i finish what im workin on in php right now to start java..... don't want to get too much on my plate. but that's what pretty much everyone says... once you learn one OOP language the rest come easy.

If you know the oops concept then you can start to learn java language easily. The best resource for you are netbeans.org and off course sun.com, and java.net… You can use NetBeans IDE for the java development which the best one for java and its free.
It’s free DVD including Netbeans IDE, tutorial and with so much other stuff. Especially for you, it’s really easy to learn. Just download latest JDK from sun.com and install Netbeans IDE. And start to your development in java.
If need further assistance then you can contact me here!

I find that this book "Essentials of the Java Programming Language" is good for learning java.
I had found this site >> http://learnjava.awardspace.com This website is for people who want
to learn Java Programming Language step by step. This website also includes JAVA lessons from the
beginning to advanced level. So this site appropriates for the beginner of Java programmer language
or non-basic Java Programming Language. The lessons are easy to follow and understand starting
from how to get your PC JAVA ready, the fundamental programming concept and creating the real

Many having tell me to make my MMORPG in java leads me to agree, But I'm not sure truly is it

more then one in C+= I've learned a lot of variables in javascript, and I don't think that
java would be too bad either. My true question is, is those who use these languages, which seems
to give better outcome, and which seems to be more in ease. Regards -PCessna....

Ok at my Uni they teach you OOP with java, They used to do with C++ i believe but swiched to java
because its easier to teach people OOP with java apparently. Anyway I've been working on some
exercises with java (book is 'objects first with java'). I've got this one exercise
which I cant understand. QUOTE Exercise 4.29 Rewrite getLot so that it does not rely on a
lot with a particular number being stored at index (number - 1) in the collection. For instance,
if lot number 2 has been removed, then lot number 3 will have been moved from index 2 ....
With this registry edit you can easily open the current folder in prompt without going through any
