Hi Ty, You definitely can't go wrong if you learn Java well. Java on the web translates into JSP, the answer to ASP. That's the front end part of things. On the back side of things, there would be SQL and how Java deals with that. The book you got on Internet programming is a good one. If you could get through the tutorial at http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/reallybigindex.html, that would keep you really busy the whole time you are out and do you a lot of good.

I'm just curious, which game is it? I'm sorry for getting off topic. But in terms of web development, lots of sites use PHP, but ASP.net wouldn't hurt either. -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Littlefield, Tyler Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2011 6:22 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Real-world coding examples? Hello: Thanks for your advice, though a console based game doesn't really get me out of that domain, and I honestly can't think of where that would apply. I want to work on projects that I can show as part of my portfolio, and I've already got a text-based game.
