If you have a reasonable Python background you should be able to follow it easily enough. The biggest challenges are the static typing (which soon becomes frustratingly annoying after Python! - that's where the IDE pays dividends) > and the Eclipse IDE. I used Netbeans as it is the official Java IDE so I can't help with Java on Eclipse, although I do know a lot of it depends on which plugins you install (I used it for UML designs in a previous life!). > Any suggestions? I also used two books (Actually I read about 5 but these were the most useful): - Learning Java - O'Reilly and - Java A Beginners Guide Both are good but, if forced to choose just one, I'd now opt for the more advanced version of the latter: "Java The Complete Reference" by the same author, Herbert Schildt. There is a new 10th edition out which means the previous one is available at much cheaper prices... FWIW Java 8 is now a half decent language, something I'd never have said about Java up to v5 (which was the last time I looked at it). Finally, If you need to use the Enterprise extensions (JEE) you can use the online tutorials but I definitely recommend pre-viewing YouTube vids for that. They really help with the concepts.

[Tutor] Java equivalent of Python-Tutor?
In my early days of using Python I benefited greatly from this Tutor list, thanks to both Alan and Steven as well as as many contributors. I still check in now and then and try to chime in to help now that I have a bit more experience under my belt. I'm doing a few projects in Java now and would love to find a similar resource that covers that language, and the Eclipse IDE. Some of my questions are too newbie for a forum like stackoverflow (and most of the responses there assume a non-newbie level of knowledge). Any suggestions? (I acknowledge that this is a bit off-topic, but I hope the blatantly obsequious sucking up at the beginning of my note makes up for it.) -- Terry Carroll carr...@tjc.com ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
