Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I am learning Java right now. I know a bit of the basics such as variables, loops, statements, etc. I am currently learning stuff like methods, classes, objects, etc. I understand them but I am going over them again to refresh and get better.

Anyways, I was thinking about purchasing this https://www.udemy.com/introduction-to-mobile-game-programming-for-beginners-corona-sdk/?dtcode=pf7hvxxi

which would give me access to a complete set of video tutorials that will show me how to make games.

My ultimate goal is to become fluent in Java and develop mobile games/browser games. W

Is this something that would benefit me right now? I don’t want to spend the money for the video series and Corona if I should be learning something else.

Corona SDK uses LUA which is altogether another language. The course you mention will not help you with Java. However you could consider learning LUA and use Corona SDK to achieve your goal. Hope this helps.

As the author of the course in question I have to say the course was designed to teach programming logic utilizing Corona SDK, programming logic is something you learn once and you can carry from language to language.

Although I believe you would benefit from it, if your ultimate goal is to program with Java and not with LUA or Corona SDK, you might find other options better suited to your needs.
