Where to start?

Hello JGO-Community!
I recently finished reading/learning/understanding “Head First Java” and I’m very excited to start programming a simple 2D game to further improve my “skills”.

But I have no idea how to start. In my book swing wasn’t really a big thing and yesterday I stumbled across JavaFX 8 and now I’m not sure which one to use.

Most tutorials I found didn’t explain a lot. The authors just copy pasted code without explaining how things actually work.

Someone on the internet suggested Beginning Java 8 Game Development. Is it any good?

If you have any tips you want to share with me I’d really appreciate it.

I read several posts here and one says I should start with Java2D. I’m reading zetcode.com right now.
