can someone please teach me java?
ok so long ago i was gonna have my brother teach it
but he moved out shortly after and he didnt have a chance to...
i dont like reading books because i cant ask questions
youtube videos: cant ask questions, well i can in the comments but half a day later i get a response...
i would ask notch but he obviously wont for free or any time soon because hes making MC
anyone... please...?
i have skype and steam if you want to help me
Those tutorials are your friend. Take lots of notes. As for how to make games with it... You're going to have to learn the language front and back first. I suggest you make some text based games and simulations to start, and then pursue the graphical aspects of the language.
Also, nobody will tutor you for free, but a lot of people on the minecraft IRC can tell you what you did wrong if you get compile or run-time errors. There are also plenty of message boards out there specifically for this kind of thing. I'll warn you though, if you have an issue, at least 1000 other people before you have had the same one, search the error or problem first, before making an idiot out of yourself and asking someone.
Go to a decent programming forum, and keep in mind that it takes years to learn to code properly, and you really won't get anything remarkable done at all if you don't have a solid foundation in mathematics, which is easy to see you don't from the complete lack of of proper spelling and grammar in your posts. Start with Game maker or something.
And before I get trolled for the spelling and grammar comment, visit any popular development forum. TIGSource, for example. Find one considerably successful game or application developed by someone who doesn't put thought into their words.
Grade A+ math
grade 7
lol...
im pretty good so far, im about a year or two ahead of my friends at school in math
such as for awhile we would work at tables and id do all the work
Java in grade 7? Wow, you are damn crazy, I learned some java in 6th grade but hey... hmm. I'm 13 right now going into 8th I think Java would be too advanced for you, try python.

Successful troll is successful, then?
Yes, he was pretty successful. Mostly since this community is made of 12 year old kids who can't control themselves.
No, that's not my logic. You can find many people who are good with their words and poor with math. Finding someone who knows math well and shows no intelligence in their words is rare. I theorize that this is because people who speak and write with the English skill of a child are probably also going to know arithmetic like a child. Not everyone who displays intelligence behind their words also understands math to a great extent. I have nothing against someone who doesn't natively speak English, but it's actually very easy to tell them apart.

Allow me to break this down into the reasons why I believe
like i said i have 9th grade math... and im going into 8th too...
a year from now ill be in highschool... ****...
is a lie. Yes, like cake. Now, onward.
No capitalization whatsoever. Generally, people who care what image they project onto others take the fraction of a second more to hold down the shift key before typing certain letters.
"ok so long ago i was gonna have my brother teach it"
There is so much wrong with this sentence I don't even need to point anything out. We also know he has an older brother.
"i dont like reading books because i cant ask questions"
This statement alone speaks volumes about any person. Not disliking reading, but going out of your way to make sure people understand it.
"i would ask notch but he obviously wont for free or any time soon because hes making MC"
Nobody with an ounce of maturity and self-respect would say this. This kid even considers asking a renowned professional to teach him of all people?
"youtube videos: cant ask questions, well i can in the comments but half a day later i get a response..."
Backspace and rephrase is a friend. This guy hasn't yet learned of it.
"didnt have a chance to..."
"i get a response..."
"anyone... please...?"
Ellipses. Maybe I'm just observant, but overuse these little dots... is a blaring sign of youth.... Doubt me..? Find posts by people you know are kids... and you'll find them littered... with heaps of... unnecessary ellipses...

As we all know, the most easily accessible methods of communication are always the wisest mediums for attempting to convey huge amounts of very technical information. Forget e-mail, forum posts, I daresay I'd rather use snail mail than any form of IRC to try and teach programming to someone. Nobody can learn programming via instant chat.
Now, suppose he's being truthful. Freshman math is composed of fractions, geometric shapes, and long division. It'll be another four years before he's got the kind of algebraic and trigonometric understanding it takes to effectively write code. I started tinkering with programming before I knew any real math, yes. But until I had a solid comprehension of what's generally taught in a high school junior's curriculum, everything I did was crap. I took calculus last year and I proactively seeked to learn more advanced arithmetic that I'm actually quite disappointed they don't even touch upon in school. Before I fairly got ahold of a lot of those core calculus concepts, all of what I did barely passed for decent. I wasn't known for programming a year ago though I've been programming since something like eight. Yeah, everyone needs to start somewhere, but learning to program is a lot like learning to walk. You need to take baby steps. No child skipped crawling, balancing, and hobbling before they actually accomplished something. Reading a book on the subject is to programming like crawling is to walking. I challenge you to find one person whose initiation into programming didn't involve some sort of definite literature.
And just because I want to toss it out there, forum posts I wrote when I was ten had better composition than wrath's.
Further evidence: I just called you a childish, immature idiot, and you provide no retaliation or even an attempt to improve your communication.
Get used to reading books. You're going to be doing it your entire life. Then, pick up a beginner's guide to anything beside C++, .NET, and Visual Basic at your local Borders or Barnes & Noble. They're fine languages, just not the best ones to start with.
dude i read books just i dont like reading books that teach my stuff like that, if i already know tons of stuff about it im fine, just there are things i dont understand. with installing the mcsharp for my server, i was reading the installation before i downloaded it and i decided i would download first so i actually know what it is talking about, thats what i meant by dont like reading books, i want to understand it fully first
also i edited what i said before what you just said and i added something else but it mightve gotten removed for flaming

I'm going to be straight with you. If you can't keep your attention on a short set of instructions, you will never be able to keep track of a game or program you write that does anything past an extraordinarily simple function. Writing a program isn't like writing a poorly structured forum post. You've got thousands of lines of code, execution jumps constantly from one spot to another, if you forget what a single one of your variables is for you're screwed, if you can't process documentation it's entirely possible and not difficult to permanently and severely damage your computer, you've got to have a lot of patience to debug things when they go wrong - which they frequently will, you have to be able to find out if issues are with your code or an underlying compiler or system problem, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
Mature a little, and then come and ask us for help. Until then, reread my previous post and follow its advice.
ill learn it when i get my own computer - a year or 2
it might be sooner than i thought, im going to be getting about 100 dollars a week probably until school starts (1 month) dunno how much a laptop costs tho

same with google...
like i said was hoping for this for free

From your assumption I could be a professor in Maths! But I'm not, I'm average grade (C) in Maths, yet A grade in English Language/Literature.
grade 7

also... where do i get java vm?
