Learning Java

[Machi]

Hey guys I have a question. I want to learn Java. Would it be smart to learn all of java or just how to code minecraft plugins with java? If I learn Java will I be able to code minecraft plugins? Or will I need to learn again after learning Java to code minecraft plugins? Not sure please help me out!

I know a decent amount of Java and I would reccomend you learn the beginning of Java and all the basic things you need. But for the second step you will just have to learn the Spigot API so that should be pretty easy as when you make plugins you will learn it

Besides just jumping in and doing it the hard way, I have heard good things about Codeacademy (more beginner friendly) and CodingBat (less friendly, more exercises).

Ik it's not gonna teach you everything but CodeAcedemy's Java Basics are pretty good they teach you about loops and arrays and a great way if you feel like you don't know anything[DOUBLEPOST=1481478133][/DOUBLEPOST]Lol all of us say CodeAcedemy

Do not use CodeAcademy! Though they teach some basics, they do leave out important areas, and aren't the best source to learn from. Also, learn Java before hitting the plugins. I recommend getting a lot of the basics down before attempting to make a plugin. Please do note it can take up to a year just to start making basic plugins (Depending how fast you can learn things, get the hang of java, etc.), so please do not expect to watch like 1 episode of a Java Tutorial (Assuming you're using YouTube) and know how to make plugins.

Sources I recommend to learn Java from:
The Java for Dummies Series (Books)
Derek Banas - YouTube
Oracle's Official Java Docs
CaveOfProgramming - YouTube or their Website

Sources I recommend to learn the Spigot API from:
The Spigot API
Pogostick29Dev (I wouldn't recommend using his way of coding, but it's good for a general idea)
BetaNyanDev (He is a pretty well known Spigot Member and used to make good tutorials)

Would it be smart to learn just how to code minecraft plugins with java?

My opinion not worth it, I don't code java because I doubt I would use it and want to pursue a career in it. If I did learn it, it would be for Minecraft and only Minecraft

I teach, PM me.[DOUBLEPOST=1481480510][/DOUBLEPOST]

You'll need to learn Java and Bukkit API[DOUBLEPOST=1481480459][/DOUBLEPOST]
You can do more than Minecraft with java you do understand that? Minecraft was created with Java. Which means even if minecraft dies you still have ways of making a new game with Java

Doing that right now.

I do, but like I said, I wouldn't want to use it outside of the game since I'm not interested in a career in programming

It's like trying to type essays in French for your French degree but never learning the language.
