how can I learn to code plugins

[EnchantBook]

I've tried Ammar T, I've tried codeacademy (which just teaches java), I've tried a teacher in my native language. None seem to work for me

I have no idea what to do. any ideas? I really want to learn

No better way to learn than trying things your self.

Watch YT videos, google stuff, and then practice.

You have to try and work on your skills a lot. You won't learn it over night, feel free to search up on internet how to do something, ask other developers for help, watch tutorials and you will learn it one day

I learnt here

http://mooc.fi/courses/2013/programming-part-1/ This will help you a lot with all the syntax, although syntax is easy, the difficult part is thinking like a programmer.

If you like maths, I would definitely recommend Project Euler (if you're good at maths they're very interesting!) Just do a lot of projects to expand your knowledge.

html is always a good place to start

Start with a easier OOP language like python. Once you learn or at least have a good grip of one language it's much easier to expand. The only hard part about programming is the logic and problem solving mindset that you need to understand. If you learn that then you will pick up the language itself slowly as Well.

There are website that teach you how to code for a price, or free depending on the website.

Looking through open source code, YouTube videos (NOT on bukkit API, on only java). I was personally first exposed to the language by Code Academy, but it didn't work at all for me either (at the end of it I only knew how to print line). The way I started grasping a better view of the language is through a computer science/programming course in my school in which we just focused on the java language. From there I looked on the bukkit and spigot fourms, and then YouTube for bukkit tutorials. I suggest going through java tutorials on YouTube first to start a foundation.

I started with C#, then moved to Java, and recently explored Python, its syntax hurts me.

Absolutely no reason to start with Python if he is interested in Java. If it's his first time learning a programming language it doesn't matter which one he learns first.

Just my opinion good sir. But he shouldn't learn java through bukkit, which in a sense is my main point.

I work for a coding company, so that helps me.
Also start with easier languages such as:
Python
C#

Yea, some of the things are weird if you've never looked at it lol.
