Teach me how to Java
« on: February 28, 2012, 12:06:01 am »
Hi, all

I really want to learn how to program Java, but I have no programming knowledge at all (besides using Lego Dacta, which I have completely forgotten). I want to use Java mostly to create Minecraft mods. Thanks!

There should have good tutorials somewhere on the internets, dunno where. I learned most of Java and its cousin C# at school.

I'm currently learning Java in college. If you need any help with certain concepts in Java, I'd be happy to help. ;)

Don't know any good tutorials, however. :x

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

Most tutorials aren't that good anyway. I recommend reading the language spec. Unlike tutorials it doesn't teach you how to use the language effectively, but also unlike tutorials, it actually teaches you about the entire language, not some small subset of it that a tutorial writer arbitrarily selected for you. After that, you can read any tutorial you like and it won't corrupt your knowledge of Java anymore.

An important point to remember that almost everyone gets wrong due to confusing terminology, is that there is no pass by reference in Java. There is "pass A reference" of course, but that reference is passed by value. It may help to think of references as pointers in that case (which isn't too inaccurate anyway).
