New Videos...

Lots of new videos out, just check out lessons.

New Video: Lesson 4 - Objects

So, it took me a while to get this one up. It's not very long, but I think it explains how to use objects pretty well. I'll also be uploading a version of that game interface in the video under code.

New Video: Lesson 3 - Logic

Ok, this lesson covers boolean variables, boolean calculations, boolean logic, while loops, for loops, do-while loops, if statements, all that stuff. I've got it posted in lessons, and have an assignment for you guys.

New Video: Lesson 2 - Variables

This lesson takes you through all the basics of variables, and touches on, I think, all the different types of variables.
Check it out on youtube, there's a link in Lessons, along with links to the java API, the program used in the lesson, and in Assignments a posible project that could help you learn about using variables.

New Video: Lesson 1 - Using Methods

A farily simple lesson about writing your first bit of code using methods. You use methods to control a character in a maze in the program Maze.java. Go to Lessons and check it out.

Getting Started

Here's a link to download the Java Developers Kit (JDK). It's free, so don't worry. And also, the link to Textpad. The test file that I use in the Intro can be found under Lessons. Check out the videos, and hopefully learn something!
