Hello, first post
So I have been thinking over what language language I wanted to use and get more advanced in so I can make my first games. After a while I decided on Java. I was wondering, what APIs/tricks of the trade/things to avoid/good tutorial series any of you have. Thanks in advance.

Coke and Code is the best start I think, take a look at the tutorials over there.
Oh and welcome to JGO ! Nice to have you here 
Thanks!
Taking a look now!
Welcome to JGO, thewotsit182!
Coke and Code has some excellent resources and tutorials. You should also check out our Resources page.
This post will also help you to better understand the situation and tools involving java gaming.
Good luck!!
The Java Hub tutorials are more newbie friendly than the coke and code tutorials: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6E90696571998DC2
Will do!
Hmm. I will check it out. I personally quite like the style of coke and code, figuring out what goes where a bit more, but there is nothing that I would lose from checking this out.
Thanks both for your help
