    <p><strong>Updated:</strong></p> <ol> <li><a href="https://www.packtpub.com/game-development/jmonkeyengine-30-beginners-guide" rel="nofollow noreferrer">jMonkeyEngine 3 Beginner's Guide</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.packtpub.com/game-development/jmonkeyengine-30-cookbook" rel="nofollow noreferrer">jMonkeyEngine 3 Cookbook</a></li> </ol> <hr> <p>I am in the jMonkey Core Team, albeit not as a programmer.</p> <p>For starters, if you're considering JOGL, I hope you're looking at JOGL2 by <a href="http://jogamp.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">JogAmp</a>, and not the old abandoned one over at Java.net. In terms of use, JOGL and jME are two different things. JOGL, like <a href="http://lwjgl.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">LWJGL</a> that jME (and Minecraft, to name one) is based on, only eases you into the bare essentials, mainly OpenGL. It means even more freedom, but you will be spending a large amount of time making the "bare bones" of your game before you get to flesh it out with real gameplay features.</p> <p>jMonkeyEngine, the latest jME3 especially, is designed with intermediate developers in mind, not by means of limitations but with a gradual learning curve and a whole lot of game-specific features built in.</p> <p>/takes salesman hat off</p> <p>Our wiki is located at <a href="http://jmonkeyengine.org/wiki/doku.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">jmonkeyengine.org/wiki/doku.php</a>. Even if you're more used to Eclipse, I strongly recommend using jMonkeyPlatform (the jME3 SDK) for all your jMonkey development, as it comes with a lot of tools that we just couldn't put into the engine core.</p> <p>As for books, I don't believe there is one, for either. Our main doc writer is working on a <a href="http://jmonkeyengine.org/2011/02/25/publishing-deal-signed-with-packt-for-jme3-beginners-book/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">contract with Packt</a> though. The final "jMonkeyEngine 3 Beginner's Guide" book is expected late 2011 or early 2012.</p> <p>I can't speak for JOGL (though I figure they'd say the same), but if you have any more questions regarding jMonkeyEngine I suggest you come visit our forum.</p>
