Alrighty spice heads, I have browsed the internet and haven’t found much. I am kind of looking for something like the open course ware stuff like http://www.oercommons.org/, which included the open course stuff at MIT and Harvard (if anyone hasn’t check that out,there’s good stuff there). Anyway, I want to learn java, top to bottom, bottom to top. I am sure there are other Java folks out there among you, how did you learn. Also since I am going to be starting out fresh is eclipse the way to go or do you have other recommendations?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Barnes & Noble, Internet tutorials, Forums dealing with Java programming. Either that or go to school? Why on earth would you want to learn Java

Java Developer Tutorials and Training

Local library, depending on how well they are stocked. Wouldn’t expect the latest books. Many have systems in place to be able to get books across their system at a location of choice, and occasionally add inter-library loans. Digital books checkout is becoming common, as well. Look for:

  • Core Java, Volume I: Fundamentals by Gary Cornell, Cay S. Horstmann, Cay S. Forstmann
  • Core Java, Volume II: Advanced Features by Cay Horstmann, Gary Cornell
  • The Java™ Programming Language by Ken Arnold, James Gosling, David Holmes
  • The Java™ Language Specification by James Gosling, Bill Joy, Guy Steele, Gilad Bracha
  • Effective Java by Joshua Bloch

Would be interested to know how OpenCourseWare (htpp://ocw.mit.edu/) stacks up for programming.

Here’s a complete semester course, including a very good primer in Java and OO Programming. All materials and 28 lecture videos are on-line. http://see.stanford.edu/see/courseinfo.aspx?coll=824a47e1-135f-4508-a5aa-866adcae1111

Thanks,

Sorry I should have specified the priorities.

  1. Free

2)Everything else :slight_smile:

As for why, I have been seeing Java dev is very in demand. I also have been thinking of making stuff for droid. Maybe even OUYA when it comes out, its a long path to there but I have to start somewhere.

At a quick glance this is exactly what I was looking for, I just hadn’t stumbled across it yet.

Thanks,

Thanks, I will check these things out. I am just really starting to use spiceworks community and I find the people very helpful. I hope I can intern help someone as everyone has helped me so far.
