mommy wow i gotta learn java now!

[[GoRN]]

i know perl/c++/c but for a computer project for class i need to learn java. i understand the /basicis/ like hello world, how everything is a pointer, and why string[1] doesn't work grrrr

but i could use some good howtos, if any of you know any?


also if you have short pieces of java code that do whatever, but are simple posting would be nice, i learn best from example.

thanks guys!

I used this page (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/overview-summary.html) quite heavily for my first few (and only, so far) java projects.

It might be worthwhile to check out http://java.sun.com/ (the main page for that other link)
also; has some potentially useful stuff.

That is my Java Dictionary :)

That's Bruce Eckel's 'Thinking in Java' It's one of my favorite programming books. That's an older edition, but the content should be the same. It'll take you from "What is an object?" to more advanced topics.

If you get specific questions, ask in this forum. There are a handful of Java coders here now.

I downloaded NetBeans now called Forte from Sun. The community edition is free. It works good on Linux. Go thru the samples and then *read* the Java Tutorial from Sun. After that you'll be well on your way.

I tried forte on win2k (pIII w/ 256MB RAM) ran real slow :(

Is there a relative improvement in Linux?
