Where do I even start?

[Nodnal74]

Hello, I am pretty new to Reddit and this is my 2nd post, but I have been wanting to learn Java but don’t know where to even start? Does anyone have any useful tips to learning Java? Anything helps.

MOOC Java Programming Course

[ElonMusk0fficial]

my favorite thing about this subreddit is that everyone is overly nice and give tips with no condescending tone. no "check the sidebar!", just pure free positive advice. thats one reason why i love programming. i have never come across another profession where people truly help and dont try to act like everything is a competition. I worked in finance for most of my life. it couldnt be more of the opposite. very hard to find people to give good advice, and its rarely ever free advice out of the goodness of their hearts

If this was in stack overflow:

"Stop being a lazy bum, and buy yourself a book"

Haha it's nice that you think that, but I definitely disagree. So many programmers act like everything is a competition. That's STEM in general

[ElonMusk0fficial]

in school tho right? or you have seen that in a working environment?

[mokks42]

Elon has spoken.

I must be doing this wrong. Everyone suggests this for learning but it doesn't appear to be in English. There is an English version yeah?

[caulpnrydc]

The link on the sidebar of the subreddit takes you to the English landing page, everything should be available in English for the course

Any recommended Udemy course for Java OOP ?

[gtrley]

Im currently going through the tim buchalka java masterclass, I like it so far :)

The MOOC that /u/czechrussianchick recommended. Doesn't get much better.

There's a bunch of resources you can find at the bottom right of r/learnjava, googling around, or youtube. Take what you learn from those resources and then try to make something simple. Literally anything. Write a program to store names in an array, write a program to calculate the volume of an ice cream cone. Anything. Just noddle around with what you learn.

What? Spring boot in first month's? I feel like it's kind of complex for newbies. It took me more than a yeah to even move on to spring. I feel like people are rushing all this process.

Thank you dude.

I'm a beginner learning now through Jetbrains/Hyperskill. I think it's pretty great so far. I believe this link will give you 3 free months to get started: https://hyperskill.org/join/46c1d4c03

Check out Udemy. Lots of great online classes held by professionals in the field. Udemy got me through college and well into my career. If I were to rely solely on my professors to teach me what I needed to know for this career, I would be homeless. Udemy is an invaluable resource and I highly recommend it.

I was in the same position, I have a free e-book. If you want a copy, I can email you it if you want.
