OCUK programming project?

Id definatly be interested in this. Im using java and c/c++ in my uni course atm and any help with coding would go a long way. ATM I can use arrays, call different methods and create a GUI but im sort of wondering where do I go from here? Unless you want a calculator or currency converter?
Id be happy to teach some people very basic java, tho I am very limited in my knowledge but it could get some people started.

Before the meeting is due to start.

EDIT: Hopefully you've all read my upadated post on the forums: It's going to be a really decisive meeting this week - and we'll be coding from now on, Decisions on who leads what will be made today so be sure to attend. Really want some of the new comers to programming to be in today!

Hope to see lots of you there :D

Cheers

Dangerstat

I've only been back off my honeymoon for a week so only just found this.

I've read the basics on C++, VB6, Python and Java however, i've never actually programmed anything because i've never had anything to program.

I'm really interested in this and will be attending the meeting tonight.

Great to hear this mate, everyone is welcome to join! Looking forward to hearing your comments in the meeting tonight
 
Project Banshee Meeting 4

Present:
Dangerstat, Lightnix, Zug, Ladforce, Blackvault, [[harv]], calabi, Kev

Agenda:

Training:

Well we had a very limited chat on this. Basically there's no time to write our own notes on how to program Java etc. So I suggested getting everyone to go through elements of the Java tutorial and post on here if they run into problems. So *everyone* go make sure you know the contents of the following thread on the Sun Tutorial:

“Learning the Java language”
“Essential classes” (Can ignore regular expressions)
“Deployment” (Only the packaging programs in JAR
“GUIs”
“2D graphics”
“Full-Screen exclusive mode API”

(For those with Java knowledge - probably the sections on 2D graphics and Full screen mode are needed).

Prototyping

A lot more discussion on this. Pretty interesting too. Calabi stressing an end goal. But at the moment we really need to get everyone just getting to grips with the basics. So we're going to produce a basic protoype - BV and his (non existant at the moment) graphics team will produce some decent graphics for us to use. And then it's up to the development peeps (led by Light and me) to get something basic together in Java.

Everyone needs to strip down the Slot Car idea in to some basic components for the prototype.

Goals?
Well in the short term everyone to get something uploaded to the SVN repo. "deadline" - well lets say a week and a half - upload anything you want - even hello world - idea is to get you using repos to host, post and retrieve code :)

General adminy stuff

Now we have two distinct teams graphics and development - at the moment these'll be led by BV for graphics and Light for development (with me helping light).

End of!
 
As well as the tutorial is there a good reference resource which tells you all the keywords, libraries and language behaviours etc.
 
Got my Java in easy steps on chapter two already, hopefully I will be a wee bit up to speed by next meeting.

Kevin.
 
This seems to be a nice project you guys are doing.
I've been tinkering with Java recently, I'm mainly a C/C++ guy, and I like it.
I was wondering if you guys could provide a link to the tutorials you are speaking about?
 
I have only just found this thread, is it too late to get involved?

I work with html/css/photoshop/illustrator but have zero knowledge of Java but am up for learning.

AHarvey has provided the link in the post below - all round the Sun Java tutorial is pretty good. Though you might want to get yourself a decent reference book (Programming / Learning Java by O'Rielly would be a good bet).

No it's not too late at all, your welcome to join. Just register on the forums and get started. The Sun tutorial should get you up and running quickly.
