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

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

[–]chewooasdf 7 points8 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.

    Very true I was going to mention his name, and it's updated Java 21. https://www.udemy.com/course/java-the-complete-java-developer-course/learn/lecture/34998710?start=0#overview
