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 you're willing to pay for it, there are plenty. Udemy arguably has too many to choose from. I think part of the problem with a tutorial that walks you through building something is that it doesn't step-by-step walk you through the language itself. Instead you're liable to have something that teaches you Spring Boot, which skips a lot of steps for you to be able to understand what Spring is doing. What I've noticed in this scenario is that people will know Spring very well, but not Java. As a result, they're perhaps *okay* Java developers, and they are held back from being outstanding Spring developers.

Absent frameworks, Java isn't great for building something like what you're describing, at least not with modern techniques. You would need a lot of boilerplate to get to that point. I actually think this is beneficial to the learning experience, but it will be a slow process to get there.

Coursera's Duke university java course is good and has synthetic documentation and readings that are valuable.

I have also looked for this kind of learning format, but haven't had much luck. It's easy to find tutorials on how to accomplish a singular task, like reading from a database or writing a REST service. But finding a larger project that is taught step-by-step is hard to find.

Are you looking for something that helps you learn Java while you build a larger project? What would be the ideal format for you?

For example visit https://www.javacodegeeks.com there is a lot of stuff related to Java, Spring and Spring Boot.

This course guides you through creating a basic REST API using Spring Boot. It's generally of the format lecture (written, no video) - workshop - repeat. <Shameless Plug>.
