Hi, i am trying to learn Java. at the Oracle site found this link (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/javase/young-dev-learning-path-137033.html) which provides a link to Greenfoot as a tool to learn JAVA, and it gives the following description: ""Basically, Greenfoot is aimed at school level programming. The emphasis is to get something exciting and fun on screen very quickly. It's an easy entry into programming, for people who want to see what programming is like. It's great for people who have had no prior interest in programming. Greenfoot is fun, it's exciting, and it generates interest because it's specialized for building graphical 2D applications. This makes what you create visually fun. It's intended to draw you in to programming."" I cannot find the area where i can learn! i am really new to programing, and i really need to learn it. Any help on where or how to find such tutorials ??? Thanks for any help you can provide. Ari

First off, welcome to the site! Second, I actually recommend having some previous, basic understanding of java before going into greenfoot, however, I can see how some could learn java through greenfoot. If you want some tutorials, go here: http://www.greenfoot.org/overview (or click the "About" button above) then you may have to scroll down a bit. There are tutorial links there. There are also some people who have created their own tutorials on the site, like SPower (here's the page he made with tutorials: http://www.greenfoot.org/collections/321) Have fun, and enjoy greenfoot!

I took a class this last year in high school to learn java, but there's plenty of stuff out there. I've heard these two are good, but I've never used them myself. http://www.learnjavaonline.org/ Teaches the basics and some intermediate stuff about java. You don't have to install an IDE either, it has a code and output window for you on the site. http://thenewboston.org/list.php?cat=31 The basic java tutorials on The New Boston site. I've heard this is really good, kinda like Khan Academy, but for programming. A lot of Minecraft modders recommend this site for newbies. I hope that helps.

For the basics in the Java language, check out the 'Trails Covering the Basics' (the second section labeled in red on the left) in the Java tutorials.
