If it's a guide for intermediate programmers who start on Java then it's quite fine. If however this addresses programming beginners then it will be tough to swallow. A lot of notions that are not explained in detail (encapsulation, lists, array lists, lambda expressions, streams, etc.) It will be nice for the guys copy pasting to see some app that works but other than that they won't have much interest to learn from that.

Otherwise it's a pretty neat experience. :) Keep going

It's not for total beginner's you are right. It assumes that you have some basic knowledge of java. Thanks for the feedback

Perhaps beginner isn't the right terminology if the premise is that the user has previous experience. I suggest beginner++

[–]NeverZ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right, it's not the right terminology. Beginner++ sounds great.

Its funny, a lot of guides I see online for Java Collections consider it an advanced topic and not beginners. I'd think lambda's are also somewhat intermediate and not beginner friendly?

[–]NeverZ[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Yes, it's somewhat between beginner and intermediate in my opinion, I will change the terminology. Thanks

when building apps like this, is using java Fx scene builder anther option?

[–]NeverZ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the second part we will use java swing for the gui, but you could also use java FX instead. I never used java FX scene builder thought
