Basic Java Tutorials for Beginner Team

Technical Java
1

Hi all!

I’m part of a beginner high school robotics team and am looking for some help in beginning to learn how to code in java. I have minimal experience with coding and no experience at all with java, but our team has decided to go ahead and use java to write the code for our robot.

Can anyone suggest any online videos or websites with basic java tutorials to get me acquainted with programming with java as well as using java to write code for the robot? We haven’t started the coding process yet but I want to learn as much as possible before next week when I assume we will begin the programming process when we have some of the actual components of the robot built. I chose to be a part of the programming team because I really want to learn how to program, and knew this would be a great opportunity to learn.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

As far as learning java there are some great free tutorial sites out there. Check out this one.

For basic coding of the robot look at this](http://firstforge.wpi.edu/sf/docman/do/downloadDocument/projects.wpilib/docman.root.c_and_java_documentation/doc1199) document.

Good luck at the competition!

Also check out the video tutorial for a demonstration of writing a full program with some autonomous and teleop code doing PID control, timed operations, and joystick programming. Parts 1, 2 and 6 are there now. 3, 4, and 5 are rendering and will go up first thing tomorrow morning. <br />
