<div class="IPBDescription">learning Java</div> ok I've decided since my turing class is basically finished (got ym final project done already, GO battleship!) I decided to get a bit of a head start for next years programming class which is as you guessed Java.

So to make a long story short I downloaded Java2 1.4 Development Kit, and now here's where you guys come in, I opened her up and well WTH do I do? I've tried lookig for some beginner's tutorials but I haven't had any luck (most assume you know how to open up the bloody thing XD)

do you guys know of any good newbie tutorials or anything that would help ease me into Java, I have experience with VB, Turing, and a little HTML. but this, well the interface is scarier than any coding demons I've met so far.

    would also explain why the forums do not show anything (or update either) past January 16, 2005? the only way I can view this thread is by going through the member list on the main page, finding myself then clicking on the link to this thread.

    eclipse is a good IDE for java (or I think so its has a lot of good shortcuts too) and you want to download the one for your OS

    And this may help some
