I used to know a lot of C++, but now I'm pretty rusty. However I am fluent in php and javascript now. I decided I wanted to learn java.
In the long run I want to be able to make web applets with java. Does that mean JavaFX would be best for me? Or is JavaFX for advanced java programmers? Is JavaFX the same as normal java except with more if you want it? If I wanted to use mysql with java to make a multiplayer game, what do I need?
You dont need javaFx for an applet. JDBC if you want Mysql or database incorparation. javaFX is for RIA's as far as I can tell.
So I should stick to normal java to keep it simpler.Quote:

Ah, thank you.Quote:

No, it is nothing like include.Quote:

The import statement is like an extension to the classpath. It tells the compiler where to find class definitions. It does NOT insert code from another file into the source file at compile time.
