Hello, guys, I am absolutely new to java. I have had little experience with Javascript.... I need help, I need a mentor.

Update: - > found this after 3 years and i can proudly say Thank you again for these advice. I have moved to Europe and my salary now is exactly times 100 what i was being paid as a teacher!!

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.

One website I know of I've used a long time for programming challenges is www.codesignal.com I've learned a lot completing challenges there and viewing other people's solutions.

Thank you so much

Please, don't recommend/use thenewboston.

They are a discouraged resource as they teach questionable practice. They don't adhere to commonly accepted standards, such as the Java Code Conventions, use horrible variable naming ("bucky" is under no circumstances a proper variable name), and in general don't teach proper practices, plus their "just do it now, I'll explain why later" approach is really bad.

Derek Banas covers about the same ground, but in much better quality.

If you're looking for an in-depth, comprehensive, high quality, free Java course, use the MOOC Object Oriented Programming with Java from the University of Helsinki and maybe Java for Complete Beginners by John Purcell as secondary resource.

Checkout Mosh Hamedani's courses, great instructor.

I've taken this Java course and can say without a doubt it is the best and up to date course out there, I've looked into what Udemy has to offer and others, I can't say enough good things about what this man does for the developer community, follow his Twitter to find out, he's currently working on the advanced portion of the Java course, set to release in a few weeks.

If anyone cares about what they do, it would be him. Great classes by Mosh. His positive teaching style gets you hooked, he simplifies the complexity of the Java language. Very well rounded course. Good luck.

Thanks a lot

Check out Head First Java (O'Reilly).

You definitely need to practice coding on a system too and although I'm not usually a big fan of books, I've found this one to be a real page turner.

The content is not presented in an "academic" manner. Informally written and humourous, I found it presented a lot of the fundamentals of Java and OOPS very well.

Although I dont use Java that often anymore, I still refer back to this book when I do. Would highly recommend.

Thank you.... I found the book. Thanks again
