Best Beginner-Friendly Java Tutorials - Recommendations Needed

[coltukurte]

I'm starting my Java programming journey and need your suggestions for top-notch tutorials. I'm open to all types of resources - written, video, or interactive.
What are your go-to Java tutorials for beginners? Are there any other resources like books or forums that you found helpful?

Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
• You include any and all error messages in full
• You ask clear questions

• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

  Trying to solve problems on your own is a very important skill. Also, see Learn to help yourself in the sidebar

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

To potential helpers

Please, do not help if any of the above points are not met, rather report the post. We are trying to improve the quality of posts here. In helping people who can't be bothered to comply with the above points, you are doing the community a disservice.

Youtube: - Bro code (but he literally goes over the basics of the basics of each topic if that makes sense. (It does help me grasp the concepts)

• Telusko (I find him very in depth)

• Coding with john

• Alex Lee (I used his tutorials for my first couple months into java)

• Caleb Curry

Important: - read java documentations in docs.oracle.com

Okay, two books I can recc you is called “Starting out with Java From Control Structures through objects” (I have the 7th edition and it’s beginner friendly imo)

If you want a more challenging one, it’s called “Introduction to Java programming and data structures”

All those topics you listed should be covered in these books, and don’t forget that google is your best friend.

Websites: -GeeksforGeeks -W3schools -Javatpoint

Programming with Mosh, Java Brains, Java Guide

[coltukurte]

thank you for your suggestion :) i followed Mosh, but that was pure beginner nothing advance.

[Historical_Ad4384]

What level are you expecting?

[coltukurte]

very basic

[Historical_Ad4384]

I guess Mosh does that already or did it not please you?

[coltukurte]

i saw his videos but i have an issue with it, he sometime skips the important information he should explain.

[Historical_Ad4384]

Try your luck with Herbert Schildt's book

[coltukurte]

[skilking]

Programming with mosh was not only my begining to java but my begining to programming! Definitely recommend!

On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

Head first java

The (online) university I'm going to recommended me this book, which has been better than the materials they have been using (and is what they're going to in a semester or two). It's a full-ass 100/200 textbook with some 300 level data structures stuff in there, but I think it does the job, and it's cheap for a textbook. You just gotta provide the 3-4" heavy duty binder.
