Greenfoot java - learning

[Ernst]

I have some basic knowledge in programming. Usually i am capable to program simple things in procedural languages as pascal and C. Since i am playing CloD and IL2 i became interested in JAVA programming. I found a very good programming tool to help that guys like who would like to learn the basics of JAVA in a very imersive, fun and intuitive way. Since i guess many here are very interested in those things i would like to share my findings with you. May be we can start discussing about very soon, sharing many ideas on the subject.

Greenfoot teaches object orientation with Java. Create 'actors' which live in 'worlds' to build games, simulations, and other graphical programs.

Greenfoot is visual and interactive. Visualisation and interaction tools are built into the environment.

The actors are programmed in standard textual Java code, providing a combination of programming experience in a traditional text-based language with visual execution.

Another nice way to learn is from Michael Kolling's blog "Joy of Code". I am learning a lot from there. Really nice way to learn JAVA:

for learning C, C, C++ and C# the website codecademy is a great place to start lanring the basic knowledge and the histroy of C. I used to play around with greefoot, but most games (that i know of) are now written in C so thats why i transferred over, but greenfoot is a very fun and enjoyable way to learn
