obsidian Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Well, not necessarily Gurus necessarily, but people with more experience than I. I have recently been seriously considering getting back into some Java and building some applets and basic games and things, and I was looking for any resources you all might suggest. I'm beyond "this is an applet" and "hello world," but I'm game for anything that could be useful in handling multiple user input, database connections, graphical interface, animation, good sound, etc. I may be jumping in a bit over my head in this one, but I don't think so. I would eventually like to write up a little RPG I've been planning for some time, but that is most likely waaay down the road. Baby steps is what I'm after now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona4456 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Their API doc is an excellent resource. As for development I recommend Eclipse. That's all I use . The Java forums are excellent for finding solutions to your problems or you can go to Google groups and find a Java group there to help you out with any problem you may have. For any Swing type stuff feel free to send me a message (GUI's are my specialty... well kinda... if I don't know it then I'll find someone who does ).

trq Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Thinking in Java is meant to be a pretty good read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 Thanks for that, guys. Thorpe, that book is great. I'll have to read up on some of the foundations again and see what direction to head from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Yeah, Ive read bits and pieces of it, mainly to get my head around OOP rather than to learn Java. Its actually up to edition 4 now, though not as a free download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
