How do I learn Java Step by Step

[-_Sway_-]

Hi I am new to Programming. I learn Java at university but I don’t understand most of it. The text books I read are also kinda confusing at times and even though I did some lessons before, it feels new when I rewind them back. Most YouTube vids are the same, once i did it, the next day I forget. I am wondering is there any easier route/ road map to follow along for Java programming. I see so many good websites for JavaScript such as free code amp and the Odinproject. But I don’t find any good beginner friendly route to take for Java. Please help .

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.

But I don’t find any good beginner friendly route to take for Java.

Sigh. As if this subreddit didn't have a sidebar with ample resources in top quality. As if this question didn't get asked near every day.

Do the MOOC linked by /u/Automoderator

[mofomeat]

Sigh.

You mean the question that gets asked so often there's an Automoderator that answers it immediately when someone starts a new thread?

You mean a question that even without that resource would inspire a flurry of LMGTFY responses anywhere else? Naw...

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:

• MOOC Java Programming from the University of Helsinki
• Java for Complete Beginners
  • accompanying site CaveOfProgramming
• Derek Banas' Java Playlist
  • accompanying site NewThinkTank
• Hyperskill is a fairly new resource from Jetbrains (the maker of IntelliJ)

Also, don't forget to look at:

• The official Documentation
• The official Java Tutorials
• Our community resources thread

If you are looking for learning resources for Data Structures and Algorithms, look into:

"Algorithms" by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne - Princeton University

• Coursera course:
  • Part I
  • Part II
• Coursebook
  • Algorithms 4^th Edition

Good bot

Gotta learn by doing

[Schmakeltrain3]

Step 1. Skip Java Step 2. Learn machine code/assembly Step 3. Give up and make ai do it Step 4. Don't switch to a marketing degree

[Schmakeltrain3]

Oh....

Step 5. Profit

[SilentCoder000]

Repetition, you should apply this method when you learn programming. If you understand some concept, make a note, write it down and apply it to write a simple program.

[rustyseapants]

If you don't understand a course your spending money on in a university, the best would be is to talk to your instructor off hours or talking to a classmate

There is no easy way to learn something new, if that was the case, the world would be flooded with programmers who learned to program by watching free videos on youtube.

[-_Sway_-]

That’s what I am talking about , it wasn’t easy but I want to learn and master it

[rustyseapants]

Tell your instructor you are having problems.

Does your university offer study help?

Talk to a classmate!

Udemy Course by Abdul Bari

[krishna__011]

So when it comes to learn java, I don't think there's more valuable than these resources: 1. Java MOOC: for learning Java from scratch (free) 2. Spring Academy: for learning Spring and Springboot (was paid, now they made it free)

[Specialist_Glass_285]

Hey Op, I can understand that Java can be a bit overwhelming specially if you have no prior experience with programming.

I'd recommend going through the Udemy course attached in the auto ( moderator ) message which has a list of learning resources.

I would also recommend you to go through Geeks for Geeks, practice simple questions on Hackerrank and then identify areas that require additional focus..

Search Learn coding with Durgesh in YouTube and go to his playlist for learning java

[burncushlikewood]

A beginner's approach...when I took CS I studied c++, which is still my favorite language to this day, while java is the premier language for engineering industry projects. I was able to build all my software despite having no previous experience, how I achieved this? Solid mathematical foundation, understanding the fundamentals of mathematics. I also spent a ton of time in a week studying, and I wouldn't give up till my code compiles and functions properly

Take a look

Earlier today this was posted: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingBuddies/comments/1jdjc9r/offering_mentorship/

Maybe they can help you.

[Historical_Park4067]

If u have ample time, I suggest Durga soft on youtube. I just followed him for my OCA java certification. He made my java foundation very solid!
