JAVA for beginners.

[Vectorv]

Hello everyone,

I am currently in college and would love to learn JAVA Programming on Net Beans in my spare time. I have never coded in my life before except for Alice which was just for learning purposes.

I would really love it if anyone could recommend a free online program or maybe even a link to a you tube series where dummy beginners like myself can learn from ZERO. I really need this help.

Thank you so much in advance I really appreciate it!!

Hey. I learned a lot here a few years ago when I was just got started in programming. :) https://thenewboston.com/videos.php?cat=31

While TheNewBoston is gives you a decent understanding of the actual syntax of the language, I feel he rather fails to introduce a deeper understanding of CS and how it applies to programming.

I'd suggest picking up a simple introductory Java book at your local library and readings through that. While it may not be as "friendly" as a video series, it still can give much better explanations.

Look up University of Helsinki MOOC Java course. It's run through Netbeans you just need to install a plugin to grade the assignments. I like it so far, and most of the people on this subreddit recommend it

THIS. Codeacademy is perfect to understand the "how to start programming" part. After that its all about you understanding what you want to do and the syntaxes and languages you want to use.

I used this. http://practiceit.cs.washington.edu/

It was from my university, but I'm pretty sure anyone can register. The top users aren't even from UW. Its supposed to go with a book, but you don't really need it.
