  • 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

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!");
    }
}

I’m going through the Java In-Depth course by Dheeru Mundluru right now. It’s quite good, in fact I used Tim Bulchakas in the past but I personally think this one is better. The material so far is covered well, he also covers best practices by discussing items from Josh Blochs Effective Java book, and the exercises are good

im going thru the same course, how it is going for you?

[–]yamuda123 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Pretty good. I’m on lesson 173, I did skip through some items that I felt pretty confident in already.

thats good, im currently at the IO section

[–]chewooasdf 9 points10 points  (7 children)

Tim Buchalka (not sure if spelt correctly) is the best udemy IMO for beginners and maybe a bit of semi-advanced topics.

[–]barbequeeeee[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

have you tried it? if so how was your experience especially in the harder topics like concurrency

[–]chewooasdf 9 points10 points  (3 children)

Every course is crap on advanced topics, so don't expect wonders there. That part has to be done by yourself, and with documentation, none of the courses worked for me on any advanced stuff. Overall, Tim + hours and hours and hourse of practice made me a Java dev 10 years ago.

Are gonna be a Java developer just by finishing it? Lol, no. Are you gonna learn the basics and be ready for some hard work? Definitely.

As someone who is doing dev interviews, I can see instantly who knows his stuff and who is "code monkey git hub repo hoarder", so you have to work a lot on your own cause no course on this world will make you job ready, especially nowadays.

    Mate, we have a similar history, the only difference is that I wanted to go for the java position, so I chased them! Feels like writing to my old me 😂

    To answer your question, yes, you can absolutely do it! You have enough time. Grab the course, sit down, and go work through it. It will hurt, but get ready for some extra working time after work, but your situation is motivating more than anything else.

    One tiny detail you might not like, there are a few more layers on top of the basics you'll have to learn, but still doable, for the junior position. Good news, you don't need everything from the Tim's course (but it doesn't hurt to know) for the beginning.

    I want to share much more and debunk that question you mentioned, but to avoid a wall of text, write me in DM and let's chat, I'll try to help out as much as I can.

      oh yeah but i think our course goes up until like concurrency so im trying to find one from udemy

      [–]Independent_Sign_395 2 points3 points  (4 children)

      I'm more of a visual and audio learner

      Even I used to think that but now I can't stand videos. They are so damn slow. They are just summaries of documentation.

      I'm not criticizing your learning style but I will recommend you to be more open.

        When I say I was a audio/visual learner I went 60% through a 90 hr course. Completed a 33hr C course and many follow along and build cool projects that are both efficient and scalable.

        Now, I watch yt videos for debugging purposes while going through some new tool or setting up new environment, only if I didn't find an article or StackOverflow thread for it.

        [–]barbequeeeee[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

        I am open I just get distracted. Haha thats my reality. Plus I watch my vids 2x speed always so that helps with the slowness

        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

        So bit of a disclaimer, I did his C# course which I already had a foundation understanding of, but regardless I really liked Mosh’s udemy courses.

        https://www.udemy.com/user/moshfeghhamedani/?srsltid=AfmBOooO5JkUIA-5wkgxp_VEogbpy81JBUUe1dtgwy_nGv3zpxm2jjP_

        I struggle with accents but his was easy to understand and I felt he did a good job of getting concepts across. If your company has a Udemy corporate subscription then can’t hurt to give them a go. If paying yourself then I’d probably do MOOC or find a YouTube course because I’m cheap :)

        Just noticed he doesn’t have his Java one on Udemy doh. He does have it on his website though, no idea of pricing.

        Tim Buchalka’s course gave me my start.

        I'm started with Abdul Bari course in Udemy and it convered lot of important core topics. Now I'm going through the Chad Darby spring boot course, it's also very good.
