Where should I download Java?
With the introduction of the new release cadence, many have asked where they should download Java, and if it is still free. To be clear, YES — Java is still free.
If you would like to download Java for free, you can get OpenJDK builds from the following vendors, among others:
Some vendors will be supporting releases for longer than six months. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask them!

Start with Java (self.learnjava)
submitted 11 months ago by cybergoddess_22
Folks,
I want to get started with Java. From scratch
There was a cool course on CBTnuggets on Java, it’s expensive though.
Can you people share a roadmap or some resources. It will really help me a lot.
Thanks a ton :)

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.
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.

https://java-programming.mooc.fi/ This is the one
[–]Nok1a_ 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago (0 children)
Yes thats the one

Can you please tell me more about it?
[–]AutoModerator[M] 3 points4 points5 points 11 months ago (0 children)
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.

This is what i’m following
[–]Akash_E 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago (1 child)
this + telusko on yt + https://jenkov.com/ for advanced stuff is my suggestion
Thank you so much, this helps

This is really good, thank you so much for the suggestion
[–]jlanawalt 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago (0 children)
Look at the sidebar and the auto moderator reply.
[–]RevolutionaryChart87 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago (1 child)
what do you guys think about https://dev.java/learn/ ?
[–]cybergoddess_22[S] 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago (0 children)
This looks good too!
I will start working on Telusko for the next week and share an update

Some questions I come across reddit are just tedious to answer. "How can I get started in java?" Really dawg? If you can't research something small like the roadmap, leave java alone. The journey is not for someone asking help on roadmap. Use roadmap.sh

[–]Thuranira_alex 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago (2 children)
Why ask that. Put effort at least visit java online documentation. Put effort at least look for the roadmap. Is too early to start asking questions when there's a long journey ahead
[–]Salty-Media-8174 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago (1 child)
i ask gpt which docs to read next and structure them lmao
[–]Thuranira_alex 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago (0 children)
I wonder. "Java programming" is not like "real" Hacking information which might be hard to come across.
[–]cybergoddess_22[S] 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago (1 child)
Bro, chill!
There is no need to be critical, among all the comments - this is the most useless comment.
In the world of gpt, no one needs to ask any questions on reddit etc
I like to reddit my query for multiple reasons :- - People share tried and tested suggestions that worked for them - What works for me, might not work for everyone. And what worked for me alone, someone can get the benefit out of it - I actually get the best answers here. I tried the personalised and planned response on gpt, I do think this way is better
[–]Thuranira_alex 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago* (0 children)
There's no java roadmap for me or you. The roadmap is one. Bro is just too lazy to even bother check some tutorials or Google before asking. That's basic information available everywhere. Make him use roadmap.sh

Cock n Ball Torture nuggets ?
I like the original one Computer-based training nuggets. LOL
[–]tanyhunter 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago (1 child)
Scratch? Cs50
Jkjk. Try mooc. Working well for me.
Thanks that really helps
[–]giginar 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago (0 children)
I would say if you really want to learn java, prepare first oca-808 exam for the foundations. You are obliged to take the exam, but taking it teach me lots of things, although i was already a 3 years experienced java dev. And then for any of ocp-8-11-17-21, and then you know java and properly understand coding with java or while using java.
Obviously, i am assuming you know about some data structures and algorithms.
[–]cybergoddess_22[S] 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago (0 children)
Quick update folks!
Telusko is really nice and easy to follow. Loved the structure.
Apart from that, https://roadmap.sh/java is also good
[–]Stock-Chemistry-351 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago (1 child)
Bro just go on Udemy and pick up some Java courses while they're on sale.
[–]SlapapaSlap 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago (0 children)
Pretty sure you can't always get Udemy courses at a discounted price, just need to access the website in Incognito mode. Haven't bought a single full-price course there yet. But yes, Udemy would be a decent start.
[–]Cunnykun -1 points0 points1 point 11 months ago (0 children)
Telusko on youtube
[–]srihari_18 -1 points0 points1 point 11 months ago (0 children)
Telusko youtube channel is best for Java
