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.
