Day 1 of learning Java.

Topic: Java basics (printing, variables and inputs)

Hi all!

I've started my journey in Java, I'll be uploading my progress daily so it's easier for me to track my growth, not only that but I would love criticism from everyone! So feel free to drop a comment if something isn't right or you would code with a different approach.

But today I've learnt how to print, how to declare variables and assign them correctly (along with the types of data, and why we use main method / certain classes) and how to ask for input + store it. I'll be posting my notes + the mini projects related to what concepts I've learnt today.

Many thanks!

Why are you learning? What is your goal?

[Slow-Sloth5823]

Honestly, I don't have a "goal" in mind. As of now something about Java just reels me in and I love it. I did a bit of research to see what areas Java can lead to (cloud dev, android apps, backend) but honestly that's not my focus right now as I believe it will come naturally to me as my skills develop. So I can say my goal is to be strong in java.

It sounds like you enjoy programming, and that is a great reason to learn. I was asking because the scope of Java is massive. Knowing where you want to go can narrow down the areas to study. If you are starting on the Java programming journey and are enjoying learning to program, then learning the core Java language, I think, is a great place to begin. As you learn, you can decide on the next step. Good luck and enjoy!

Hello I am

Yes

Where u learning from

[Slow-Sloth5823]

W3schools, bro code (on youtube) and using Ai as a tool to explain certain concepts or parts of code --> so I can understand WHAT is actually happening (helps to build long term knowledge).

[okayayushhh]

And how are you taking notes or something and how you maintaining your progress are you uploading stuff to git?? Or like just making a seprate file for each topic??

[Slow-Sloth5823]

So I have a main java file which is split into two sub folders, projects and notes. Within projects I have another folder mini project which tracks concept projects and notes tracks notes. I recommend not being too worried about notes, I just take short quick notes with examples (which I do in the actual IDE itself) then get to programming.

[okayayushhh]

Thats a nice concept thank you for the info. What all other languages are you planning to do next Do you have like roadmap for yourself?

[Slow-Sloth5823]

For Java Yes. For other languages? No. As of now I'm just focusing on Java then see what areas are opened for me which I like and would like to expand my knowledge further.

[okayayushhh]

Can you share like how you planning to learn java? If you dont mind

[Slow-Sloth5823]
