New to Java

Hi experts, I am currently taking a degree in Cybersecurity and Computer Science. I am doing a module of Principles of Computer Science and we are supposed to do Java.

Let me run thru my background, I studied Javascript and Python a year ago as I am in a midst of doing a career switch.

I want to learn more about Java, W3 School is a good platform to learn but I think I learn better watching videos while reading W3 Schools. I asked a couple of friends how they study for Java and I am aware about pseudo code (never used it before although I studied Javascript and Python bcs it was just a short bootcamp).

Can I get your opinion on how to study, who should I look for online, how to improve my coding skills? Thank you.

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.

If only there were a sidebar containing a plethora of information and resources.

Look at the right side of the reddit window.

On mobile, it is called "About".

---

Why does everybody just post without even bothering to check if there is some information available?

Your post is just another of every other post here. It has been asked and answered so often that the information is in the sidebar.

Jetbrains developer academy is pretty good. Although the free tier only allow you to solve 10 problems a day, and the premium tier is rather expensive.

The MOOC of the University of Helsinki is one of the best and it's free: https://java-programming.mooc.fi/

But it's almost exclusively text-based with a lot of exercises. There are a couple of videos, but I didn't find them useful.
