I'm interested in learning Java generally, but more specifically learning it for use in Storyline. However, the list of online courses and resources out there on Java are so vast I'm not sure which of them pertain to use in Storyline. Is anyone out there who already knows Java or has completed Java courses able to point me in the right direction or give me some tips?
I'm interested to hear from others in the E-Learning Heroes community about their experiences learning JavaScript! In the meantime, I wanted to share this article that may be helpful:
I can't point you to a course, but I can share a free resource that the amazing Zolt Olah has created and maintained. https://www.linkedin.com/in/zsoltolah1/
He created this resource with 99 examples of Java code that can be used in Articulate with real working examples of what that looks like. It has tips for both Rise and Storyline. The best part is that it is precisely for non-coders (like us).
Javascript (JS) is a scripting language executed by internet browsers. Storyline (SL) creates HTML files that browsers use to display web pages. So anything in JS applies to SL, it's just a question of defining what you want in a specific story. Unless you become a professional web designer, it is unlikely you will need to learn great portions of JS. The most likely course of action is to consider it a hobby, and play around with it as much as you want. Then when you have a specific need look up how to do it. Find something close and adapt it. W3schools is one resource, and as Belkin suggests, Zolt's resource is excellent.
