Java Programming Tips Corner

Until now my work with computers was limited to CS2, xhtml and CSS. This fall I will learn php and SQL, which is not going to be a problem (I hope).

But... I also signed up for a course in Java OBP where I will have to work with one of the Linuxes (downloading the debian DVDs at the moment).

I was wondering if any of you have some expirience with the JDK and could give me some tips for a good start.

1. Download Eclipse (it's not necessary but the methods autocompletation is helpful) or NetBeans (maybe better this if you want follow official Sun tutorials).

2. Read the Java Tutorial.

3. If you need to learn OOP oriented to Web Programming read then Java EE Tutorial.

Good coding!

Spend some time browsing the Portland Pattern Repository wiki. There's a ton of good stuff here on design patterns and software engineering in general.

Also, you'll want to learn about a build system for Java instead of just relying upon the one integrated with the IDE - I recommend Maven, although Ant is also common. NetBeans has better Maven integration than Eclipse - see mevenide.codehaus.org.
