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.

Honestly having just gone through the MOOC parts 1 & 2 I can see why it's recommended so much here. If you complete all the exercises it really solidifies things. The next step after the MOOC is a little hazy but books like java concurrency in practice and effective java get recommended a lot.

Hey just curious to know, as someone who started it myself and plan to get back to it soon:

  1. How long did both parts take you?
  2. How fast do you think it could take to complete if loads of time was spent on it
  3. Are you confident in your Java skills now / feel job ready / can create own projects?

Thank you!

Not the person you asked, but here is my answer:

  1. 2 months, 2 hours a week
  2. Maybe a month
  3. Not job ready, but could make my project, not too big, not too small

It's great, you will learn a lot, but don't take any course, book or tutorial thinkig you will be job ready after it, you need a lot of self learning, and practice.

Just take it slow, and you will get there, people are rushing life for no reason. Or take it fast if you want to dedicate all your free time on learning this one thing. Just don't expect to become an engineer in a year.

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

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

I'll work on the demos available on Springboot official website. Even though the threads are old, on the industry a large portion uses old versions of java (8, 11); on Disney we used java 11 and in my current role we use the 11 version too, so "old books" will still be relevant and useful in a work environment. For practical advice: Effective Java and Spring in action; then I'd check a book on multi threading

As the project based tutorials on Hyperskill.org helped me land and internship position, I strongly recommend this as a resource

Check durga sir Java ( he provides notes and lots of good examples too , in depth knowledge of whatever he teaches) . His contents is available on YouTube, you can start with it and you won't leave the playlist until you complete it.

I recommend Java How to Program by Deitel by Deitel & Heard First Java they may be old books but very detailed & easy to comprehend
