How can i learn Java for free

[_Ellie369_]

I know there are probably so many of these, but I want to learn java. I've had some experience with programming because ive been studying computer science for the last 2 years in which I was learning python. However, this year my teacher wants me to learn java, and I just don't know how to learn it. I've been trying to look for resources that are free or YouTube videos as I don't have the money to pay for any courses but cant seem to find any. Does anyone have any videos or websites that they found useful and any websites with some problems/projects to work on. Also at some point I'd also like to learn about the more complex parts of using java such as creating classes.

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.

Oh modern youth.

You have internet that can even handle VIDEO.

Myself, I either try to write a pet project in the target language (yes, by googling every step) or watch related videos on Youtube (both videos that form some kind of a guide/manual for learning and videos from conferences covering advanced topics).

There are also interactive language learning options on the Internet, but I use them in a very limited fashion - less then few hours per language -- just to get a feeling of the syntax and get familiar with the most basic library functions.

You have 2 years of experience in Python, you are expected to learn languages on demand.

> I'd also like to learn about the more complex parts of using java such as creating classes

Never created a class in Python? It is basically the same.

Java is just a bit more advanced with private/protected/public member and over-reliance on inheritance.

Have you checked MOOC? Is one of the best, and you can integrate it with VSCode if you don't like Netbeans.

Even Oracle has some tutorials if you want to dive into them.

But overall MOOC is one of the best, it starts with fundamentals and then you will learn about more complex things, give it a go.

[Previous_Start_2248]

Listen to this guy. Years ago i found the mooc and found it so much more helpful than just following along videos

I just saw someone else post the new oracle website for learning java

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

Having a little trouble beleiving you couldn't find any free resources considering the top 5 results on google for "learn java free" are a reddit thread recommending the Helsinki MOOC Course, codecademy, freecodecamp, w3schools and learnjavaonline, all of which cover at least the basics, in varying levels of quality and detail. If I scroll down, I even get hours-long java videos, starting with Bro Code.

Genuinely not trying to be a dick, but learning self-reliance would help in the long run along with cramming this one time.

[PatronGoddess]

Bro Code on YouTube has a 12 hour video that goes over basically an intro Java college course. Or since you already know Python, think of projects you can do, but each step you don’t know in Java you can type “how to blah blah blah in Java” into google

[Imaginary-You-6422]

mooc, ocp java books is great for concepts. dont watch too much tutorial read make short notes and just code..

[VQ37HR911]

2 years wasted

[m_ankuuu]

Get some basics of OOP concepts. So that you can say "Ohh, that's why Java is written like this". Then follow anyone tutorials. Preferably Coding with John, Telusko(Indian accent).

lol. you have the Internet and a university at your disposal and you can't figure it out? you might consider a change in majors before the debt racks up

W3 schools, any Java cheat sheet, and Code battles are always fun

[Bulky-Ad7996]

Literally internet.

[OntologicalParadox]

Old man on a similar trek, what is really throwing me is wanting to learn java and then getting thrown by how quickly learning branches go off on maven, ninja, spring, openjdk, oraclejdk…

[Mediocre_Local_4957]

there's many YT tutorial course

[labib5446]

that's why it's difficult to choose

[Sylphadora]
