SCool62's Coding Homepage

Hi, I'm SCool62, also known as SCool or 28otters on Scratch.

About Me

I am a Maven loving, Java programmer who plays Minecraft. My favorite language is Java, which I learned about from Minecraft modding. I now make general Java projects, Spigot plugins and Discord Bots. The first coding language I learned was Scratch, but I barely code on Scratch anymore. The first non-block-based coding language I learned was JavaScript, and shortly after that, HTML.

What I am working on

My two main projects right now are making Among Us in Minecraft (using custom plugins) and making an HTTP server in Java based on Coderfromscratch's tutorials.

Coding Tips

  1. USE MAVEN! Maven may be one of my most important discoveries as a programmer. USE IT. maven.apache.org.
  2. Get a good IDE. An IDE is one of the most important tools for a developer to have. Get used to one, and you will notice the difference. I use IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition (CE). It is free, amazing, ergonomic, easy on the eyes (with dark mode turned on) and easy to use once you get used to it. I used Visual Studio Code, a lightweight, multiperpose code editor to write this page.
  3. This one goes after using Maven. Use libraries and dependencies. If you want to work on a project, but a key ingredient, such as a JSON parser is missing, chances are there is a library or dependency for it.
