Java for Absolute Noobs

[Ducky duck]

Don't be misled that the word "Noob" in the title means Idiots,

I am asking if anyone could break down Java for me, I have never done any languages before and don't know any coding.
I looked up what would be more easier, and it came out Java would be a simpler coding language then C++ or Python

So, Can anyone help with this or give a link?

I also wan't to learn how to make simple programs with .bat (notepad)

You can google search "Java Tutorials".

Java is def. simpler than C++, but not at all simpler than Python.

On the subject, it usually depends on what you want to learn to create, practical applications, games, etc. Just search for tutorials on the specific field you want to learn, e.g. "how to make games with java", or "lwjgl tutorial" (lwjgl is a lightweight java game library).

Ok, But, I would rather not google search it because they usually start talking about stuff I don't know yet...

In a youtube video they started going on about stuff like they where teaching someone who knows this stuff. But it said for Begginers.

Those kinds of tutorials probably already assume you know how Java actually works. If you don't, I'd brush up on that first and then make a couple of small example programs yourself that use Java's object-oriented facilities.

Start off with a simple "hello world" and maybe move on to something a little more complex, like a "guess the number" game, or rock-paper-scissors.

Just looking for Java tutorials is a bad and time consuming idea. Some of them are above the heads of new people and expect that anyone reading it already knows a little bit. They are usually not interactive either.

My suggestions:

http://www.codecademy.com/ (this is what I've been using, but make sure to use Chrome)
http://www.codeavengers.com/ (Jr high friendly in relation to projects, easy to use but pretty immature IMO)

Start with a Java Syntax guide.

Also yikes, page stretch!  We all know what java is so you don't really need that there.

thank you for putting up a picture of a bat file and java, i could've never figured that out

Since you're new to programming. I would try to find a video or a website that explains the concepts of programming.

I found this article, barely looked through it but here u go.

http://howtoprogramwithjava.com/programming-101-the-5-basic-concepts-of-any-programming-language/

EDIT: One thing you're going to hate about programming is trying to read documentation -_-

Neither of those websites give tutorials on Java. Although I do agree on the point that interactive tutorials are usually better, there aren't that many available for Java.

EDIT: Also, .bat files use another language, window's batch file language, which isn't all too useful other than making simple scripts.

Darn it did it again. I always call JS Java for short and confuse myself. Nvm

[Kingdaro]

Oh hey, there's an interactive java tutorial: http://www.learnjavaonline.org/

Go figure.

[Blockzillahead]

Yes I just confused myself.
