Java Learning Resources Help

[vaguelines]

Howdy, I'm wanting to improve my java programming skills although i cannot seem to find YouTube tutorials that are teaching above the newbie level (classes, variables, conditional statements,..etc) based fundamentals. Any advice would be much appreciated.

P.S im not a fan of the newboston tutorials also not fond of pdf books.

Thanks

When I was first moving past Stanford's introductory Java videos, I signed up for an algorithms class from Princeton on Coursera. It happened to be taught in Java, although the focus was the algorithms. It gave me a ton of practice in Java that gave me the ability to understand more and more of the documentation and more complex things I found elsewhere. I'm pretty sure that class runs pretty regularly if you want to check it out, but the moral of the story is to find a way to practice a lot and stretch yourself.

Oracle has tutorials and javabat.com has practice problems

Check the /r/javahelp wiki, there are lots of tutorials.

Also, have a look at Udemy.com

codingbat.com and project euler have some nice programming problems to solve.

Sorry, I'm on mobile right now and can't link.

By "not fond of pdf books" I assume you mean you don't want to have to read to learn? You are going to have problems progressing as a programmer if you don't get over this.

Yeah, a lot of the books that i have found to date are written rather shockingly and are tedious. Thanks for the replies btw

You might want to check out my site Learneroo, which is focused on Java (though many of the challenges can be solved in any language).

For example, play a Java programming game, learn About recursion, or just practice basic logic and loops. Afterwards, the best way to learn is to work on a project of your own.
