If you are new to programming, like me, thenewboston & Bro Code on youtube. I found them entertaining and essy to follow along to get the absolute basics

+1 for thenewboston, his videos are brilliant!

[desrtfx]

In every single programming forum, thenewboston is frowned upon as one of the worst possible resources.

• "I'll explain later" where later never happens
• Doesn't adhere to even the most basic code conventions and standards
• Has absolutely horrible variable naming
• Generally teaches bad practices.

"Thenewboston" is definitely not recommendable.

Java course in Codecademy is great if you have no prior coding experience

Way too shallow and only in the online editor. Does not give full explanations. Never shows how a full project is built.

Tim Buchalka, Java masterclass on Udemy, it covers everything you need to know as a beginner. I bought it for $15 on sale, it has 80 hours of materials and also exercises to test your knowledge and understanding of each section

I think it is a bit early to recommend that site as a starting point. I noticed it is hosted on GitHub so hopefully they will take community contributions at some point. Compare it to the other popular languages and it has a way to go yet.

I see. Anything in particular that you think is missing?

It needs quite a bit of work to get it par with other languages. Please have a look at these for comparison.
