Books and Tutorials?

Wondering if anyone can guide me towards some books, or an online tutorial to learn Java and in future use it in practice for game design.

If you have any input please leave a reply, all appreciated.

Hello,
do you have a preferable language, int which you want to read the book?
I ask this, because I’m myself not an english native speaker…

Many Greetings biro

Try to get along with english, there is too many good tutorials on that language to be missed.

I’m also not an english native speaker but work hard to get used. Although some notice my odd grammar or vocab :smiley:

hello,
I believe that my own grammar gives enough hints about my language knowledge too :wink:

Back to the topic:
Hm I’m not sure if it’s so important to stick with english books, at home I have at least 3 books about java not in english, but my own language, at the moment I have no english book about java at home, but that doesn’t mean, that I’m to shy to read one when needed or that I’m unable to read an english tutorial, but luckily I find enough information about java in the net in my native language… I don’t know wherefrom Shazer2 is, but if he’s from a country that has a lanrge enough java programmer comunity than he might find good books in his own language too, and I’m sure that here is at least one active user that knows his language and can give him a few good suggestions for books in his own language. If that shouldn’t be the case then I fully agree with you and he should look for an english book/tutorial.

P.S. Just to be sure, how good/bad is my english language?^^

Greetings biro

Good enough and maybe better than some native speakers :stuck_out_tongue:

Your English is quite well, although you have to watch out the difference between “to” and “too” :wink:

But Shazer2 lives in Australia and is a good English speaker :slight_smile:

Maybe Shazer2 didn’t talk about the language but the quality of contents :slight_smile:

@biro: you’re better than me.

Wanted some help with the Books and Tutorials not on how well I can and can’t speak English. Any more input guys?

I believe Riven’s post covers everything :wink:
