READ THE DOCUMENTATION

[jfryer]

There seems to be more and more people out there that are posting questions to the forums about basic things, and the answer is very plainly sitting in the Java Documentation.

I am in no way suggesting people should not post questions here, and myself and many others are always happy to help with even the most basic of questions (everyone needs to start learning somewhere), but a number of recent questions have all had the same reply of "Read the documentation" since the answer is clearly stated there.

People could save themselves a lot of time if they went there first, checked the doco and then if they can't find the answer, or it is unclear, jump in here and post away to your hearts content, and we will reply with equal vigour.

The documentation (and some very good tutorials) for all things Java is here :-

Don't worry, someone will try to respond about once a week to this message to move it back up to the top

It's a good resrouce to know whether or not your a beginner. I couldn't write an OpenGL Physics Graphing tool, but I know someone who can, and I also know they use the API at sun as a reference.

(And for $50 I won't tell them who you are ;-) j/k)

Documentation is worth it just so you can say RTFM!

I'm not paying you $50, Tarwn, and I bet you could write a neural network simulator with you're eyes closed.
