Where Do I Start? Im a noob.

I know that this doesn't sound like a very sophisticated thread, but I'm a noob and i want to make a few plugins, so just hear me out for a second.

I know Java is the first thing to know. I know of bucky(although some people say his work isn't great), and I know of the java for dummys books, Is there any other tips about learning java?

Second, should I start off small? I'm thinking of starting off with a plugin for tag(I know there is one already but its a way to start off), would that be considered small? Should I start off with a template of code and work off that as a start?

I'm sure you all can help me and i hope I don't get trolled to much xD

Thanks!

 

This forum is for resources ad the same suggests. Like tutorials/guides. I suggest watching thenewboston's videos on java. After that, to look at the HUGE Plugin Tutorial on the wiki. You can watch dinnerbone's video tutorial series on how to make a red carpet that appears below you and fades away.

 

Don't forget to look at these: http://jd.bukkit.org/doxygen/annotated.html
very helpful stuff that people don't look at and end up asking questions about.

 

I started on Bucky's tutorials and I'm making good progress! Yay!
I just found that there is 80 somethin videos to watch. Should I watch them all? If not, where should I stop?

 

Good place to start

 

Not really D: its a good idea but its too big and messy xD

Yes you should D: Altho u dont need all of em to start devin, around ~30 you can start doin plugins but make sure u watch em all in the end.

 

Where can I find these tutorials?
Also looking to start devin plugins and have little Java experience also
EDIT:
Never mind, a few threads down has a link to them
