Eclipse, in my opinion is the easiest and best to use.
I consider NetBeans to kinda do everything for you and I want to be getting better at javaScript when I make programs.

ive wtched a lot of videos, i think im starting to get the hang of it, the book i bought was Java: the complete reference and java all in one for dummies i think. i also got java for dummies by berry burd from the library so i got a lot of reading to do, also my internet tower for my provider is scheduled a maintness/upgrade so i can read and code without going on the internet

My godfather read one book when he was 12 years old ( Adult now ) and then he just kept learning and now his job is to code.

i feel like a noob. lol and you kow whats really anoying, sme of my keys on my keyboard have fallen off so its hard to type, which makes this harder

Watch PogoStick29Dev's Java101 Tutorials they're really helpful for someone like you.

CodingBat is a good site to practice Java (and Python).

i bought ne of the books, i dnt remember which one and while i wait for that to come im watching this https://buckysroom.org/videos.php?cat=31&video=17976
the laylist, am i watching the right ones?

Go to Amazon and buy a Java book from there.

You have a 2 bit computer? Then how does it even work? o.O

And I would recommend this book if you can get it
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Head-First-Java ... first+java


Also if you are looking for a slightly more advanced code autocompletion I would recommend IntelliJ IDEA
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/

i got a 2 bit computer and i cant get the 64 bit download for the JDK...help?

Compressor? Can you explain, lol

Yes, you need the Java JDK platform as well as Eclipse (or another IDE). The book tells you everything you need to do though. Like, everything.

What's the API for

Bukkit API, for server-side mods. (Most servers you go on nowadays have Bukkit which uses plugins. The Bukkit API is for coding Bukkit plugins.

Swimmer1929This book is really fun to learn with and actually pretty interactive:

http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Program ... or+dummies

After that I moved onto this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Java-All---One-Du ... or+dummies

Assuming you're talking about Bukkit plugins (when you mentioned Minecraft plugins), here's the API:

Thanks everyone, and you use eclipse right?

thenewboston on Youtube or at his website (https://buckysroom.org/videos.php?cat=31)
Oracle's Java Tutorials (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/ ... Paths.html)
Two great places to get started, don't follow any one way tutorials like a Minecraft modding tutorial or a bukkit plugin tutorial. Learn in a way that you can take the new knowledge and apply it in several places. I made that mistake and couldn't do much else except make a ModLoader mod.

I suggest looking at TheNewBoston on YouTube. He has MANY tutorials about java.

I took a Programming class at my college. Thats how I learnt, taught us C++ and Java

Ok java is what I want sorry, thanks samstrongman

Also Java and Javascript are to different things. You'll be wanting to learn Java for Java programs and plugins, and what not, but Javascript is an extra website programming language that let's you do special functions that you can't do with html.
Go for Java if you're plugin developing, and check out this guys youtube channel for amazing Minecraft Plugin tutorials.
