    4. What Advice would you give me?.
    5. What's the quickest and most efficient way to learn how to code in 2019?
    6. Is Java an easy program to learn?
    7. How did you guy's' learn how to program in Java?

    1. Largely, yes. But Eclipse is also a preferred editor for some developers.
    2. Yes, or Kotlin, which compiles to the same bytecode but has a more user-friendly syntax. If you're looking to start from fresh, I'd recommend learning Kotlin.
    3. Log in | Community | RuneMate
    4. Be resourceful, use resources such as the Jdocs (Generated Documentation (Untitled)) and the development related channels in the Slack and Discord servers to ensure you're writing good code. Take criticism in your stride and listen to what others are telling you.
    5. Take a beginners Java course so you can get the basic knowledge of the language and structure down, then download some open source bots from our store and have a read at those to understand how we structure our bots, then try write some on your own.
    6. Yes, Kotlin is close to normal languages than Java making it even easier.
    7. I personally learnt at university.
    8. I haven't used one, but Pluralsight and Udemy can be great resources. For written resources, try going through the whole w3schools Java course at Java Tutorial.

    Hope this helped in some way. :)

    Let me know if you need anything else, I'm on the Slack server as well as my own Discord server (if you're interested in using my bots and want to chat more about them).

    1. Do RuneMate Bot Author's use IntelliJ IDEA to Code?
    Yes, it is objectively the best IDE to use. Although I use the eclipse compiler because it is slightly more verbose than the Javac one.

    2. Are RuneMate bots programmed in Java?
    Java and/or Kotlin

    3. What's the RuneMate Develepor Support Slack?
    You can find it at: Join RuneMate Chat | RuneMate

    4. What Advice would you give me?.
    Read the javadocs and read some java/kotlin books to make sure you get the programming conventions down before doing anything super duper complex.

    5. What's the quickest and most efficient way to learn how to code in 2019?
    Books, looking at other code, and doing small projects.

    6. Is Java an easy program to learn?
    One of the easist languages to learn, as far as languages come.

    7. How did you guy's' learn how to program in Java?
    Projects, University, School, Side-projects, books, youtube tutorials, and bugging people.

    8. What web courses/websites would you recommend to me?
