Java...where to start...what to do. Java as a second language

Well after reading tutorials all day...I have not learned much except a whole new list of jargon I need to learn.
Coding a program is a huge and daunting task....it seems there are millions of people attempting to make a game but hardly anyone achieves the task. I will be joining those masses soon enough.
First thing to do if you want to do any coding....it took me a while to realize this little fact.
That step is done...now the only thing I have to do is read thousands of pages of text between working two jobs....That will not stop me here an now...I will keep on keeping on with the help of all those following the ritual. We will get somewhere in due time...I am actually trying to make contact with some game developers so I can get my ideas into motion....

Here is a nice introduction I found to help set up an initial grid for an interface
Okay so now I can have a grid....but I have no players...no values and no attributes no variables ...which is okay but now all I need to learn is how to get NPC's to spawn...build and search out users.
This may take a good long time...

Next on the path for the ravaged ones...learn the language

More and more people are joining with me to complete an ultimate goal. This video game must be revolutionary...a breath of fresh air to the world. People will have to learn to get better at this game...

What language am I going to use?
This question is difficult to answer because I frankly have no idea....I was actually planning on using an engine that needed not much more than a few points and clicks of the mouse. I will not learn anything making a video game this way....and it does not seem like I will find anyone who can volunteer their time for free. No one really seems to be willing to help me write up the code....
How can I blame anyone...I expect to ask a few nerds to script for me a while and pay them some change. Welcome to the real world ravag3 ...no one has free time for me even if it is paid.

There is only one thing to do...I said the idea of this game will be to learn and gain more knowledge. It looks like the only way to achieve anything would be to learn the language myself....
Python mabe
C
C++
who knows...take a peak at Java a while....
I do know a little HTML but that is not much help....
I will have to start at the beginning and hope to learn the tricks along the way.....

stay posted for more
