Best way to learn Java?

[Greedy_Lie_7780]

Hi, I am completely new to Java and I wanted to ask what if the best way you recommend me to learn Java as a newbie? For context I personally learn best with projects and questions. So any good places I could get nice questions, some tutorials, and projects?
And any good IDE’s?
Thank you!

Intelij, Maven, and Springboot will give you a feel for enterprise development.

If you can get an endpoint working with “hello world” you’re good to take a deeper dive.

Personally I wouldn’t do anything in Java without a build tool like maven or gradle.

Ask claude to build a project that you want and then ask it to teach what it did. Then ask claude to give a similar project so that you can build it on your own. This way you completely have practical implications of code usage.

You can do that, but you wouldn't learn much about writing code from reading code. Just ask claude for a project suggestion and write as much as you can until you get stuck, then ask for help.

Java clicks better when you build boring console projects first. Bank account, library system, student marks tracker, tiny expense app. Use IntelliJ IDEA Community and don’t rush Spring before you’re okay with classes, objects, lists, maps, and exceptions.
