What are some cool JAVA projects for beginners ?

Question

Started learning Java to prep for a course this Spring and I’m interested in building some simple projects to better my understanding.

Answer 1

1. reading from one file -> manipulate it -> write in second file
2. find a Webservice and display its data somehow (eg': the weather)
3. a simple 1on1 chat system for your Lan
4. tic tac toe
5. tic tac toe with a KI and multiplayer over netwerk

Answer 2

Simple projects like:

-An app that can create a text file, open it, write something in it and close it (implement Exceptions as well).

-An app that can convert Fahrenheit into Celsius in a 2 decimal places(you said simple remember?)

-An app that takes an input from the user (age, legal age to drink or something), and with a conditional depending on the input, print something.

-An app that open a connection to a database,(there are student databases ready for use), query it, save the data in a variable and print it, and close the connection (again, use exceptions here!)

With this simple ideas you could get creative or just make it as simple as possible, in the end, any app that calculates anything could be fine in order to practice imports, user input, inheritance, conditionals, method design and out put to the user. Good luck Brendan!.
