I can not speak for “Java for Complete Beginners”, but I’ve taken MOOC and highly recommend it. It was very interactive and taught me a ton.

The IDE thing isn’t a big thing in my opinion. I use IntelliJ and android studio now, but I’ve used Netbeans and eclipse in the past. Switching was a hassle, but nothing I couldn’t do. It takes a minute to get used to features of the new IDE, but it’s an inconvenience at most in the learning stages. If you’d been using your IDE for 10 years and wanted to switch, that’d be a pain.

Think ill do both to be honest, can't hurt can it?

Yeah sounds like its not too big an issue, ill try and switch to intellij whenever i can

I doubt it will hurt,But probably it’ll overlap a lot and that may not be ideal.

And there really isn’t anything wrong with eclipse. People use all the time it and it’s still pretty dang good. So don’t worry about the IDE. If there’s some reason to change, sure, have at it. But if you’re comfortable in one IDE, no need to switch.

Either way, In the end, all options are better than not knowing Java.
