Hi,
Having only used vb (6, .net) I need to learn Java.
But got NO idea where to start! What do you use for ide? (i want to move away from MS, so rather not J#.net)
Tutorials, sites, advice will be most appreciated!!
Kind Regards

ps....also think about looking at linux...what about also swithching to new OS (Linux) and learn Java? I really need to expand my employbility
I guess might have sound too quick to ask, as a lot of people posted some helpfull links and sites to use.
Actually I'm looking for tutorials (pdf, word, etc) I can use offline, as I have limited internet here for time being. Anyone got something like that?
Thanx again

You can always download the web pages countaining the tutorials that we have posted though..:)
BTW, I find NetBeans ok for Java. You can get it for many OSes. HAvn't checked if you get it for Linux but I would guess so. Other nice apps are Eclipse (never tested it) and JCreator. JCreator is nice. But I hate that it doesn't have (or at least when I tested it) intely-sense at all.

^ what's "intely-sense"?
I am pretty sure that you can download earlier editions of Bruce Eckel's - Thinking in Java from his site. http://www.mindview.net/Books/TIJ/.
Here is a free online version of Core Servlets & JSP, 1st Edition http://www.coreservlets.com/
Also Oreilly has a free .pdf article archive you might want to check out http://java.oreilly.com/
Intellisence is when you IDE assist you in entering keywords.
For Instance you type Dim x As.... then you get a dropdown of all possible datatypes and it filters out as you type on.
GREAT!!
Thanxalot Dilenger4! Just what I needed

I use Eclipse as my Java IDE, and I love it. It is free and has a wonderful development community.
the NetBeans IDE is a good development program for Java.
Hi,
Don't feel like studying today, so thought I will look at the IDE's, and just now reading Eclipse's Help File. Seems great, but too great for now, and scared if I jump into it, I'm gonna mess up my goal of learning the language first, so think I will stick to the nice text editor (Jcreator that is :) ) and get back to this later.
Cheers, and thanx a lot for your feedback!
