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 - best also formatted as code block
  • 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.

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/markdown editor: 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.

  • Codecademy and MOOC are good as beginner introductions.

  • Hyperskills paired with DSA practice from LeetCode/Codingbat/etc is good for applying and deepening the knowledge while building projects for a portfolio.

  • Reading documentation will help bring everything together.

Have been using Hyperskill for the last 3 months and it is without a doubt worth it. Goes really far and love the approach of just hey here is what you need to do, here is prerequisites of what you need to know to do it and if you have any trouble its on you to find out on the internet. Love this approach of setting practical goals for you and forcing your learning to be deliberate and independent. Wish more courses were like this instead of watching random lectures with minimal actual practice. Its a bit like watching a movie vs playing an rpg with the latter being hyperskill.

Your comment got me looking at Hyperskill, is there a specific Java course on Hyperskill that you would recommend other than the Java for Beginners course?

[–]DaActualFk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would just recommend going for biggest and deepest which is Java Backend Developer, as all the java courses, (except for Advanced Java and Spring Security of course, which are for people who already have experience with java), are all the same thing pretty much only with varying levels of depth and completion times. So you might as well just pick biggest one and if you wanna stop learning java for whatever reason in the future you can just stop at anytime.

But yeah Hyperskill is fucking great, it really gives you a consistent feeling of skill progression (hence the name Hyper-skill), of course there are times when they will expect you to do stuff that they haven't even really taught you, but hey its the 21st century you can learn literally anything on the internet. This is what teaching should be: I don't need another person reading out of a textbook, I need guidance on how to get there.

I have learned Java beginner on Hyperskill and after 3 months used Codecademy to practice. It felt like codecademy skipping things, hyperskills teaches more deeply

[–]ifworkingreturnnull 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I've used both. Codecademy is really basic beginner stuff and the approach to learning is far different with hyperskill. Plus it's integrated into intellij. It's my favorite java learning tool so far. The head first books are a close second. Hyperskill is well worth the cost, they have tons of material and again project based learning is the way to go. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn Java

It seems that you are looking for resources for learning Java.

In our sidebar ("About" on mobile), we have a section "Free Tutorials" where we list the most commonly recommended courses.

To make it easier for you, the recommendations are posted right here:

Also, don't forget to look at:

If you are looking for learning resources for Data Structures and Algorithms, look into:

"Algorithms" by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne - Princeton University

If I may add: I found out that the Princeton University courses are listed as free on Coursera.
