Author Topic: Netbeans - Java (Requesting Help)  (Read 519 times)

Well before I get to the subject I'll give you guys a small update. School has been frustrating but very productive. In my video game design class I was assigned a group of ten people since we were considered the best in the class to produce a game on World War II with a month deadline. What we created was a barely functional third person shooter, regardless we still got a lot done.

Now I'm beginning my Junior year in which we'll be given three periods dedicated to game design.
- 3D Animation II
- Video Game Design II
- Video Game Lab

As of now, the teacher has requested that I along with a few other top students are to learn Java over the summer so we can avoid his lectures and do our own thing. So far I haven't been very productive and I've been busy tackling more "important manners". *cough* Dark Souls *cough*

Finally I decided to download Netbeans as well as some PDFs to get started. I'm having a hard time getting acquainted with Java since Javascript is structured differently. The only reference I have to remotely compare Java to is C# and even then I'm really bad with both languages.

If anyone has good tutorials or could even teach me themselves, I'd greatly appreciate it.

And so the forums ignore a nice, respectable person in need.

I really doubt that many people have advice to offer.

I'm glad you can google and click the first few links but that's not what I've meant.

I've already done a pretty thorough search on Java tutorials and examples. I was hoping if anyone knew of some forums or community based sites that share content. I'm more of a visual learner. If I can see the code and the product then I can decipher as to what the syntax does.

i just remembered something that might be a big help

That'd be cool but I think that involves Javascript not Java?

Javascript and Java are different languages but I appreciate the offer. Also lol.
