    Re: Complete Newbie

    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.

    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.

    I use Eclipse as my Java IDE, and I love it. It is free and has a wonderful development community.

    Re: Complete Newbie

    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!
