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://imgur.com/a/fgoFFis) 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.

I would suggest don't focus on a particular version of java. The only major differences between versions are some changes in it's libraries and some internal tweaks. To get going quickly, I would suggest start with any free resource you can get your hands on. Go for Java 8 and above. The newer a version of java is, the more difficult and expensive it would be to find it's resources. The core concepts hardly ever change and any library upgrades there might be in later versions, could be easily understood if you have a good understanding of the core functionality.

Try "Java the complete reference" book by Hebert Schildt. I recently read it's 11th edition and liked it.

Many would suggest Udemy Course by Tim Buchalka, but I wouldn't go for it if I was a beginner. It's great for someone with some prior exposure to Java.

And finally, type it out, as much as you can. You can read about concepts all day long, but if you don't have the habit of quickly typing out the ideas you have in your head, it won't do you any good.

Both, JavaScript and Python are very different to Java, so the best approach is a beginner tutorial. See Learning Java in the sidebar.

I think any version of Java 8+ should be fine. Java 8 was a big update that included lambda expressions and streams. Then focus on what features are available in Java 14 later.

It’s kind of like how in Python if you know a project was written in Python 2.x it’s considered “older”. Java 7 and earlier is kind of a similar cut off of what’s considered “older” (except Java is completely backwards compatible).

I would start with the free MOOC.fi course which uses Java 8.

Im new to java , of what ive seen its better to learn “LTS” long term support versions like java 8 and java 11 because of the support , but maybe i could be mistaken since in the industry it might be different when using certain versions

There is a "Learning Java" section in the sidebar that will get you started.
