OK bro, am a newbie as well, am aspiring to become a programmer. how do i get started?

Start with HTML, it gives you a feel of accomplishment within a short while. As you'll see the results of your code, which in turns boost your confidence and passion to learn more and dive into the real thing.
Visit w3schools.com or codeacademy.com to get started.

I started JAVA programming sometime last month, and am pretty amazed how much I can do with it. Just the basics and all. So I don't really know way forward forward from there. I really want to challenged to put all I know into a good use. And I really honored to be among programmers in this forum.

Seriously don't know where to start with build games. Any hint. Please.

You can create a simple guessing game making use of the java.util.random class and for loops. with a few lines of code you can create a very simple game. You can generate random numbers within a limit and have the user guess the number generated. If you want to test your skills further you can also create a CGPA calculator. Just try and have fun testing your newly acquired skill.

Okay. Thanks. Should I make it console based or application based.

You can just make it a simple text based game. If you want to create a GUI(graphic user interface) for the game you'll need to learn JavaFX. But for now just make it text-based.

Okay. I will do that. But have also created text based Unit converter, currency converter, a hotel management system and so on.

impressive work, then you must already know how to use a mysql database with java (for the hotel management system)

Don't know how to use MySQL database yet. I just a console based text code for the hotel management system not a GUI. But would love to if you can put me through it. Thanks.

No problem, you'll use JavaFX for the GUI. Although writing JavaFX is like XML you can use Scene Builder to drag and drop the GUI components. If you want to learn how to use the GUI tell me so I can share some of my codes on GitHub with steps for you to follow.

Hello Javagurus, I'm also new to Java programming, I'm currently using netbeans IDE for my developing environment, can i use it to build a javaFX GUI?

yes you can use netbeans to build a JavaFX GUI app, although i use eclipse IDE. either of the two is ok, or you can also try intelliJ IDEA.

Please I would love to.
First thing you need to is set up JAvaFX on your IDE. You can check some online resources if you are stuck or you can ask me. After that you will need to download Scenebuilder here https://gluonhq.com/products/scene-builder/ I'll share links to my code on github later.

nice!

we could use a nairaland thread too, maybe the mods could be graceful enough to help us pin it.

so all beginners on nairaland could just walk in and learn something new, drop their issues, projects and others.

we have pros here too that can help when the going gets tough and we need a pat on the back. And help profer solutions and at worse clues when we get stuck.

All under the watchful eyes of seun and his crew.

We could use the both bro, what do you think? grin
