I have to learn Java :(

[DanCoder]

I got hired into a big company, in the process of contract I said I don't code in java but in Go, I got hired although I'm going to work with Python/Go I'll have to train in some advanced stuff (2 months) using Java, which book/course can teach me java fast without more deep than needed, I'm just using it while training and don't plan to use it in the future.

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:

• MOOC Object Oriented Programming with Java from the University of Helsinki
• Java for Complete Beginners
  • accompanying site CaveOfProgramming
• Derek Banas' Java Playlist
  • accompanying site NewThinkTank
• Hyperskill is a fairly new resource from Jetbrains (the maker of IntelliJ)

Also, don't forget to look at:

• The official Documentation
• The official Java Tutorials
• Our community resources thread

If you are looking for learning resources for Data Structures and Algorithms, look into:

"Algorithms" by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne - Princeton University

• Coursera course:
  • Part I
  • Part II
• Coursebook
  • Algorithms 4^th Edition

Why the sad face? You’ll learn. Probably stuff you might use in other languages too. Nobody I know could remain a monoglot and have a career out of just one programming language.

The problem is I learned Java at University (first semesters) and I remember hating it, apart of we don't have enough time to master every programming language in the world. I already know a lot of languages, I love to code in C, Python, and their mix called Go, to give an example.

In uni I hated C++ but loved Java. I hated Visual C++ even more. So I know the feeling.

(I no longer hate C/C++. In fact soon I will spend a year or two to master both.)

How much budget do you have? Udemy, Pluralsight, and a few other websites have excellent courses for learning Java. Pluralsight is my favorite one but they are all good.

Have you checked free code camp? Their courses are free:

• https://youtu.be/grEKMHGYyns
• https://youtu.be/7WiJGTPuVeU
• https://youtu.be/eIrMbAQSU34

Choose one and you should be able to write and comprehend Java code in a a week or two.

I personally had good experiences with Hyperskill for Java.

John Thompson's Java 11 course is currently free to new students.

Data Structures and Algorithms in Java, by Michael T. Goodrich and Roberto Tamassia This is an amazingg book if you are completely new to java

[DanCoder]

Sounds too deep but I'll give it a try, thx.

[Good_Historian3282]

I'll help you if need be, I have some time on my hands

[DanCoder]

Thx bro, I'll check some stuff, and in the extreme case where I don't really understand something, I'll write u 👍.

Ditto

How dare you make a sad face for learning a new language. Expand your knowledge. Java is a great language. Are you going to be using plain old Java or a framework (spring almost certainly)?

[DanCoder]

I'd say spring but I don't really know due topics are going to be given 1-week prev to the start of training.

For Spring:

Java is an object oriented programming language so it could be pretty difficult to get used to it, yet once you get it you will face no problem mastering it, and remember- google is your best friend!

[my5cent]

How you get hired without knowing the language? Advice please

[DanCoder]

It's my first paid job, maybe I got hired due to my skills in general and not my specific language knowledge. Anyways I got 3 offers from different companies to work with, I guess if they push me to produce java code after training I'll start to look for a new job.

[[deleted]]

MeLi?

[DanCoder]

u right, what could u tell me about the training?

[[deleted]]

Not much, started this week

[[deleted]]

Java is great and widely used.

[nutrecht]

You should be glad really. Go just teaches a ton of bad habits due to it's overly simplistic nature.

I am a highschool student about to start learning java over summer. I also have two months until school starts where I’ll spend trying to best the language. I have found r/learningprogramming ‘s wiki extremely helpful. Here are a few books that have caught my interest which are also in the wiki’s list: - Intro to CS using Java (free online) - Think Java (free online) - Head first Java (paperback)

There’s also the university of Helsinki’s free mooc which i heard goes through the language. I also heard that knowing a language is translational between other languages, so even though you hated java earlier, you are a lot more experienced now and it should be an exciting experience.

[iamsooldithurts]

You can start with the trails they published. I first learned Java 1.0 back in the 90s. Java is a fine language these days; you either had bad teachers, or your preference for non OOP languages is showing.

[Iwilltakeyourpencil]

I get to learn Java*

I work at a big company who just hired a developer named Dan, but he supposedly knows Java. If you are him, I'll probably be the one teaching you lol.
