Recently, I realize I suck at java...so: How did you learn java? Whats the best way for a newb to learn java?
Use thenewboston's vids and look at other Java projects by decompiling it. Search for "Java Decompiler"
you can go to a course in real i am now in course and its really helpful... there is some java's courses for children..
TheEntropy its easier but if you have questions and you want to learn that for life if you will want to be programmer... i am just 13 and i was in alot of courses.. java php html c# css android and i am going to learn more.. if he want that just for bukkit so your option is good for him but if he want to learn it to life so i think that course is better...
You shouldn't just watch it. Also do the same things he does, but with some changes made by yourself. So that you learn a little bit more.
I did, . Doesn't matter now anyway, it's a year and a half ago, and I know a lot more than I'd be able to learn from his videos alone.
I have one tip and one tip only for this cause. And it's the only way to go if you wan't to become a programmer. Do not watch "syntax" tutorials which is specific for one language, what you need to learn to succeed and eventually become a programmer as a day job (IF this is what you want.), The tip is to learn programming methodology, the science behind programming, how to design the structure of programs course from Standford university which has been made available online at youtube ( ) which covers the basics on programming methodology, and it happens to use java for examples so that's a plus.
