My son is all motivated to learn Java so that he can hack around in Minecraft, so I'm looking for ways for him to get started. I have no coding background either, so I am equally lost. [snip] Can anyone recommend something to get him to the next stage?Â
You can also check some of the online courses available from various universities and places such as edX or Udacity (to name a couple). MIT has something called OpenCourseware that is self-guided versions of some of their courses and are free to use. They have course 6.092 with the title of "Java Preparation for 6.170". There will be plenty of other courses and tutorials on Java out there you can find if the MIT OCW course is not suitable for your son. -- Cheers!
