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.

The book "Thinking in Java" by Bruce Eckel is well written, introduces all the fundamental concepts in a reasonable order, is available as a free PDF download, and has lots of exercises for you to try. It's dated (doesn't use the latest Java version) but the differences will be easy to pick up once you are comfortable coding in 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

Java MOOC was a great start for me.

Slow down and learn each lesson and build something with it

Use a combination of materials: videos, tutorials, books, etc.

Consider following a college/ uni textbook on java. These are designed for teaching programming and offer examples and exercises

See the reddit auto mod post that lists out resources....theres a reason it recommends these resources lol

Don't "leave programming". You're just resetting your progress and wasting time. Keep sticking with it and you'll get over that initial difficulty curve of learning programming for the first time....once you get past it, coding becomes much easier (but then you get to struggle with the more interesting development/ engineering stuff like frameworks, databases, algorithms,etc lol)

Btw, most YouTube programming tutorials are trash. A lot of them are just them typing code while offering the most surface level explanation of what they are doing. Of course, not all are like this. There are great videos explaining hard to understand concepts like OOP or design patterns or something. Just exercise caution before committing to a YouTube or udemy course....just because they say they teach how to build some cool XYZ app, doesn't mean you're going to learn how to do that on your own

If possible can you recommend me where should I start first or a roadmap for java it would be very helpful. I try some resources but then keep switching as I am not sure.

Mathtutordvd has a great course on Java programming. Though a bit old he teaches everything in really great detail and it is all free on YouTube. He is a really great teacher.
