Java Tutorials/Help

What would you say to a newbie like me that has never touched Java and was looking foward to making program for RuneScape/Just wanted basic Java knowledge?

Please link me to a good tutorial/guide.

 

If you're using games as a reason to program, you're probably not smart enough to do so, sorry.

Anyways, you should probably buy a book and go through it if you're actually serious about programming.

 

How can you say he is not smart enough to do something?
I say go to a bookstore and find a book on basic java though. start with the simplest stuff, don't try and go make something right away until you know the basics.

 

I think it's stupid and naive to use games as a reason to program...

 

It's what I did and I'm doing fine.

 

Programming is so much bigger and better than gaming and some people just don't realize that. Don't get me wrong, making games is fun, but I would never put that much time in it or try to make a living off of it.

Theres not necessarily a guide to java. you just practice it. like go buy a book on it @ best buy get some info from there and if u need help with classes look em up in the api.or you can ask me im ok @ programming

 

Go buy head first java its one of the most amazing books out there, but if you want to make a book, you also need to study the third party apis that are used in RS bots

 

If your school offers something along the lines of "AP Computer Science" I suggest you take it, it will teach you pretty much A-Z Java, which is a great starting point for this kind of stuff

 

agreed.except my teacher was an online teacher and she taught us above and beyond what we needed to know, so when the ap test came around we all failed xD.

 

lol, about the same thing, except our teacher failed, and we mostlly did well, lots of 5's haha, I myself didnt do to much of what he tought, mostlly looked into Android dev and my own stuff ( ie hack school computers )

 

Programming is much different than you think. One skill in runescape, im estimating is about 250 pages of straight up coding using loops (which you will learn if you ever do decide to touch on java). I've been learning java for about two years now through my uncle and the internet. I've worked on a project right now for scoring baseball games and its taken me 3 months and I still have to correct many bugs.

Bottom line, theres many ways to learn Java, and many different ways to write a code in Java. Some might take longer to learn than others. Try it out, if you like it, I'm sure you'll work on it a lot as I do.

Hope this helps
