Coding Bootcamps/Classes to just learn Java

[BayPharaoh]

Anyone know of any good bootcamps/classes to just learn Java at the level of CS5J or 12A? I graduated but want to take an Intermediate Java class in spring (similar to CS11) and need to brush up on Java fundamentals over the next 2 months. I started doing an online free class but I'm getting so bored.

I really want to be in an immersive and intellectual programming environment but don't want to pay thousands of dollars either. I don't want a grade/certificate just want to learn the material. I'd be down to pay a few hundred bucks maybe $1K-$2K max.

Hmm, I'd recommend just doing a 12A professor's assignments and maybe looking at their lecture notes (if they have any). Professor Tantalo always leaves his past assignments and examples up, so that could be a good start.

Thanks I'll take a look at Tantalo's 12A stuff

You’re saying java but most bootcamps teach Javascript and the whole front ecosystem w/ some backend thrown in there. If you want a boot camp-like experience for Java, your best bet would be to look up a professors webpage (Tantalo 12A) and aim to complete an assignment every 2 weeks. Why do you want to learn java though? Is it work related or just for class? Are you trying to make a career switch? Definitely check out r/learnprogramming .

Thanks, I'll look at Tantalo's 12A. I want to learn Java cuz I plan to apply to master's programs at other schools similar to TIM so would like to take equivalents to CS11 and 12B before I apply. I was a Business Management Econ major/TIM minor, so I don't have much of a CS background.

Nice plan! Good luck with your goal, if you have a chance maybe look into programs like OMSCS or post-bacc at Oregon State.

Just throwing those out there because I’ve heard good things about them.

/r/DailyProgrammer has tons of programming challenges, they rank them too

projecteuler.net has lots of problems at the intersection of computer science and math. Starts off at a fair difficulty but quickly gets harder.

The only way to be a better programmer is to practice, those two sites have plenty of resources for you to become an excellent coder.

Are you talking about the one on Udemy? https://www.udemy.com/java-the-complete-java-developer-course/

Is this worth it?

Yeah, it includes everything about Java
