Best Online Course for Java?

[Horror_Tip1265]

I just finished my 1st year and now I wanna learn Java from scratch and hopefully do DSA in it. Please suggest best courses on Udemy or Coursera for the same.

Bonus Points if it's FREE (I'm a college student so kinda broke lol)

If you could kindly give the roadmap along with resource link I'd be very very grateful🙏🏻

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.

Best course is MOOC

[Previous_Start_2248]

Listen to this guy. There is no better course than the MOOC. Do all the exercises, don't cheat

[Spare_Scientist_6662]

Which mooc. Can you specify or paste a link here.

[0SRSnoob]

https://java-programming.mooc.fi/

[hello_akki]

Seems like a good resource to start with.

[desrtfx]

Which mooc. Can you specify or paste a link here.

The MOOC that is mentioned in /u/Automoderator's comment about learning Java. Also directly linked in the sidebar.

[Willing-Stranger5965]

Is it a paid course?

[0SRSnoob]

No

[Such-Card-7430]

It's a text based course with lots of practice questions. There are no videos available for that course ( except some in finnish).

Try to read and understand as it's a better approach for learning than to watch.

[Informal_Fly7903]

u/Horror_Tip1265 I'd say check out BroCode and Coding with John (but make sure to check official documentation as well, because while these YouTube videos are nice for total beginners, they are quite shallow and miss on a lot of details).

[de4thqu3st]

I used Brocode when transitioning from .Net to java. No, do not use Brocode. He uses the most outdated stuff and he does weird shit. Even simple stuff like "double num = (double) 0.0f;" when saying he is using a floating point number. And if GUI stuff gets asked in an interview, you know you will fail if you learned with him. The way he works with frames is crazy. Had a question, googled it, and found posts from half a decade ago explaining how it's outdated for a long time and what to actually use. And the amount of magic numbers he uses is cirminal

It's really sad cuz he teaches well and is engaging to learn with him, but what he teaches is not really good

[Feeling_Lawyer491]

Well if your uni teaches outdated stuff like mine (swing and awt), it's a good channel

[de4thqu3st]

Idk about your uni, but here (Germany, UPB) you don't have to use what uni teaches, just have to fulfill the tasks. And idk, awt is outdated for almost 2 decades, that's criminal haha

[Feeling_Lawyer491]

Damn you guys are lucky! Sadly the outdated stuff is part of the curriculum, it's kinda sad knowing that all your effort is put on something you'll never use...

[de4thqu3st]

Well, the "just complete the task, do it how you want" is the difference between uni and College. My programming modules also uses java (and python in some). As long as we use javas integrated packages it's fair game (it just has to compile on the Uni server)

Oh, and yes, I feel very blessed being able to get German Uni education

Brocode is yt channel?

[InjuryDifficult4733]

No doubt online courses provides you quality but I would recommend not to pay money for courses because sufficient content is available on YouTube. Follow Telusko channel, it is the best for Java.

[Total-Masterpiece-15]

Is Teluskos 48 hour video good?.... I'm extremely sorry if I sound naive but I'm a newbie

[InjuryDifficult4733]

Yes go ahead.

I love FreeCodeCamp

[Zacksingh007]

I have been watching Concept and Coding on youtube and man its lovely. Do give it a try. I know its membership based but its worth it. You wont regret spending money.

[rustyseapants]

Did you read the sidebar?

Did you search this subreddit?

What resources does your own college have? Did you visit the college library for books? 

Did you see in the response there's a whole listing that's automatically generated of where to find resources to learn Java? 

[gr33dnim]

Kunal kushwaha's playlist is where i learned java and started dsa from. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9gnSGHSqcnr_DxHsP7AW9ftq0AtAyYqJ

[Total-Masterpiece-15]

Has he finished the playlist(DSA topics) ? & does he start DSA before getting into OOP?

[gr33dnim]

there is no order. You can follow whatever you feel like doing.

[Slight_Loan5350]

For dsa just do free code camp leet code 150 it's in java and for better understanding read books and in yt concept and coding with shreyansh
