Hello to the Buildism community.
For all of those who do not know who I am, my name is Ryne Thiel, and I am a CS (computer science) & programming student at the College of Lake County in Chicago, Illinois. I have started my college career in the programming / game development field when I was only 14. I am now 17. I've been programming Java now for about a week over 7 years, as I had first decided to pick up the Java programming language when I was 10. Of course, I did not excel or go anywhere far with it until a few years later.
I want you, the members of this awesome community, to make a decision. I am considering conducting many tutorials for the Java programming language, which is what Buildism is coded in, obviously. Java is, if programmed properly, one of the most powerful programming languages out there. Many people dislike Java because it's "slow". That's the programmer's fault, not Java's fault by any means.
You see, Java is incredibly fast, powerful, efficient, professional, and simple enough to use to make a great game or pretty much anything that you want to make. Not to mention, unlike other languages such as C++, Java was built so that it is cross-platformed by default! You don't need to recompile your programs on Windows, Mac, Linux, etc, every time you want to update your program. When I first started Java, I promise to you that I wrote the slowest, dumbest programs that the world has ever seen. What was I doing wrong though?
I was making the mistakes that I am willing to teach YOU, the users of Buildism, to not make. These mistakes were making my programs run very slow and they looked awful.
I'm willing to teach all of you the fundamentals, basics & syntax, intermediate leveled skills, and advanced Java programming from scratch.
Yes, I mean literally from scratch.
I just want to know three things from all of you, so please answer these questions, and hopefully some feedback and ideas in your reply to this thread:
1.) Would you like to learn the Java programming language and almost everything about it in a large series of Buildism-only tutorials?
2.) If so, would you like the tutorials written in text, or in videos?
3.) If Jacob would allow for the tutorials to be placed on Buildism (so that they are for Buildism only), would you like that more than them being visible to everyone on Youtube? After all, it would be a perk for new players to join Buildism.
Please let me know; I'm looking forward to hearing all of your feedback! Thank you for your time.
