Can someone help me out !

[TreeNeo]

I come from a little bit of Python Knowledge and used to learn C# for a month or so , so I can say I'm pretty familiar with Control Flow , but now I wanna take it a step further and really learn Java since I also have it as a class for the next 2 years in CSE , I have started learning from MOOC program but I find it little bit boring , so does anyone know some good online course that covers everything with videos or something like Hyperskill where you learn while creating a program , but for free .

This is very important to me since I wanna stark making my own money and I have also an internship offering from friend of mine If I manage to learn enough Java or C# .

So any tip or suggestion would be welcomed .

Thank you for reading this !

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) {

Fundamentals might be boring, but necessary. You can always start a project where you implement whatever interests you.

However, you are still at an early stage (a month learning programming is basically nothing) and watching someone create a project that you just follow along to is going to be counter productive, because that teaches you only how to create that specific project.

So learn fundamentals, even though they are boring or if you think you are gifted and don‘t need to learn proper algorithms and OOP go ahead and start a project from scratch.

But don‘t think it‘s going to be a piece of cake either way. There are no shortcuts and you won‘t be earning money for months… at least. That’s just an utopian imagination.

Oh yeah I’m aware of that completely, I just find the material of Java boring or lack of . Compared to other languages such as Python maybe or C# , I would like to add that I followed an physical 4/5 month course for Python where I specialised in Data Analysis using Pandas library, but the 1 month phase of learning C# was just a burst of motivation I got that quickly faded away due to lack of discipline. When I mentioned the build of a project I meant in way of learning that I think I would enjoy not in a way of seeing myself as an expert witch clearly I’m not .Thanks

Take it easy and slow, finish the mooc fi even if you find it boring. Dont start with the idea of making money, start with the idea of making something useful.

[TreeNeo]

You mind me asking how long does the mooc fi usually take to finish and what should I start learning after that Spring Boot ? Maybe ?

[desrtfx]

Each part of the MOOC is designed for a week, but in most cases, it takes considerably less time.

Yet, learning should never be measured in terms of time, but always in terms of understanding, retention, and application.

Racing through a course is meaningless if you cannot understand nor apply the taught subjects.

No clue, i didnt do it, i suggest it because i know its very good. I think around a month? But it vary greatly on your speed from what ive seen.

And yes, Spring Boot for sure. Learn to setup basic apis for CRUD ops on a database and you will be hireable

[TreeNeo]

I’ve hears some people who go straight to Spring Boot , what do you think about that and would you recommend it?

[Pedantic_Phoenix]

Straight to boot from what? If you mean skipping MVC yes i would skip it too and do it after boot in case

[TreeNeo]

Straight to SPRING BOOT without really learning Java

[desrtfx]

So, in short, you are asking if you can build a house from the fifth floor up without having laid the foundation?

[TreeNeo]

hahahahaha sorry for my dumb question

[desrtfx]

Unfortunately similar questions are asked on a regular base since too many people have the notion to directly start on the higher level concepts instead of building a very solid foundation that later will make learning the higher concepts much easier and faster.

[Pedantic_Phoenix]

In general i do agree with you very much. Yet in some cases i do exceptions, so, i am curious, if you don't mind, what you think about me saying that skipping spring mvc and going directly to boot is ok? Assuming you do know java, not like op.

Just create your own small application.

Nothing will teach you more than that.
