    Hi guys! I've been apart of this website for months now, and i've been running servers for over a year. Yesterday I decided to learn Java in hopes to create a plugin and help out in the community as all of you are doing. My hopes are to learn, and then start helping people with projects and etc. If anyone has any good sites or books they used to learn, it would help me a lot if you shared them with me. I will continue to update you all with my progress, I'm also thinking about creating a blog, and just talking about my time attempting to learn.

    All of the Plugin Developers inspired me, so thank you :D

    If anything http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/ is a good place to start. But the major problem is, you wont really learn until you sit down and try to solve your first problem where the source isn't given to you.

    Thanks! I really want to help out in the community, I've been really busy with school, and friends, and etc, but whenever I get some free time I'm going to start learning.
    On top of learning Java, I want to learn html, css, and python.

    If you are really new to programming, http://codingbat.com/
    but at the very least it will get you down with the syntax of python and java.

    If I were you, I'd start with Python, since it doesn't force you to learn object and classes right away. Start by learning data types and then flow control statements, then go on to functions, and finally classes and objects. Then, you can switch to Java, which has a higher level of complexity. Well that's what I did, I'm just saying.

    Alright sounds good! Its just, I get bored with html because how many test sites can I make? The only thing about java is that I can code something and try it out on my server right away. I don't know, I really want to start learning, but I have no time :/

    alright, thanks :D

    If you have learnt a previous language its pretty easy. i know c# and when i first looked at the source code of a few example plugins i was like "wtf!?!?!" but the next day i just got it and wrote my first plugin from scratch.

    I don't think there would be much to blog about, it would mainly just be:
    • Day 1 - I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS !!!!
    • Day 2 - I think i understand now
    • Day 3 - Wait i was wrong this makes no sense
    • Day 4 - ooh extends JavaPlugin
    • Day 5 - I GETZ IT NOW !!!!!!
    • Day 6 - "This blog no longer exists"
