some libgdx resources

http://badlogicgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11522

The IDE is mainly your personal preference. However, almost all the [url=https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/wiki/Project-setup%2C-running-%26-debugging]instructions[/url] focus on eclipse and the [url=http://www.aurelienribon.com/blog/2012/09/libgdx-project-setup-v3-0-0/]setup-ui[/url] generates eclipse projects.

I read the [url=https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/wiki]wiki[/url] (well when I did it was on google code) and examples a lot. Also don't hesitate to have a look at the source, it sometimes cleared things up for me. I didn't follow any particular series, but there are a few resources:
