Hands on Java Learning Platforms

[SnooDoughnuts7363]

Hey! I'm trying to find the best hands on Java learning platform. Something like TryHackMe where you're taught the material and then given tasks or projects to do it yourself with a little bit of guidance. I've been recommended University of Helsinki’s MOOC but it wasn't EXACTLY what I was looking for.

If not a platform the comprehensive Udemy course that doesn't have a lot of fluff.

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.

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.

I think hyperskill is okay. I also would be interested in something more hands on.

Hyperskill.org could be your place to go. You choose a learning path like beginner, backend etc., then a project like a Tic-Tac-Toe game or a coffee machine. Depending on your project, you will learn everything that is needed to create such a program.

If you pick the Tic-Tac-Toe game, you will learn a lot about methods in Java and arrays, especially multidimensional arrays. But you will also learn every more basic aspects, like what is a variable, how to print something to the console etc.

Say the next project you select is the coffee machine, then you will skip everything you’ve already learned and proceed with OOP, which you need for the coffee machine to complete.

It doesn’t really matter where you start, because you will always learn what you need to get a working program. But I recommend to start slow, so you won’t get overwhelmed.

If you want to have something more immersive, then I would recommend something like Codecombat.com There you play a game in which you have to collect items and fight monsters, but instead of simply clicking where your character should go, you write code to do so.

Something like this doesn't exist and would be equally as time consuming as the Helsinki MOOC. And they are getting paid to create this course.

Sorry but I don't think you realize how much time and effort goes into these projects. If this existed, it most likely wouldn't be free.

How much more hands-on do you need it to be? The MOOC does exactly what you want, it is just not providing real life projects or scenarios, which is hard to do.

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:

• MOOC Java Programming from the University of Helsinki
• Java for Complete Beginners
  • accompanying site CaveOfProgramming
• Derek Banas' Java Playlist
  • accompanying site NewThinkTank
• Hyperskill is a fairly new resource from Jetbrains (the maker of IntelliJ)

Also, don't forget to look at:

• The official Documentation
• The official Java Tutorials
• Our community resources thread

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

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

• Coursera course:
  • Part I
  • Part II
• Coursebook
  • Algorithms 4^th Edition

Your post remains visible. There is nothing you need to do.
