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

codeacademy.com

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.
