Good starting Project - HELP!
Hey all. New member and someone who needs a Java push in the right direction.
Can someone please suggest to me a decent project that will allow me to learn the language without tracking through all the books on 'beginning java' as I already know the theories of coding and just want to get my teeth into something that is a decent challenge.
Something that will allow me to apply knowledge of all the basics of java and additionally allow me to learn how to code a GUI.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Just my two cents that what you would learn out of books you would never learn by just googling and doing projects. Books are too important to be ignored for if you want to master syntax yeah go ahead and start coding but thats the easy part, if you want to master semantics you better start looking into books. Else you would join the huge population who cannot decide why and when to use inheritance or not and end up writing classes 6000 lines long which would be a nightmare to maintain and even more horrible to understand.
