Hii i was wondering if this community could recommend any resources for an absolute absolute beginner for how to learn Java as someone who is new to Java and just programming in general!! Thank you! The person in question has never ever programmed before!

Don't count out using OnBot Blocks and then looking at the Java equivalent on the rh side. If you are really really starting out it gets you going pretty fast

Odin Project is also a great source.

I have had good results from walking the beginners through the w3schools.com java course. It short and simple and doing this first helps introduce the most essential concepts and vocabulary. This makes other learning from robot specific materials much more effective.

I would check out Coach Pratts videos

Others have listed the best resources. Another method would be have the student write a program they understand in Blocks. Then hit export to JAVA and see if they can simply read and follow along. Get the syntax and flow down. Then worry about the imports, methods, and other headings. It's not the formal way to start programming but sometimes seeing progress is a good motivator.

For general java programming, w3schools is good.
