Just started learning JAVA, any tips? - R҉eece҉ - Sep 4, 2014

Hey!
I have decided to change paths from web development to Java.
Its really damn fun, just so different.

Anyone have any tips or tricks for beginners or have a nice clean beginner java
learning site? Thanks.

I am just learning java too, I am using: https://www.Udemy (warez disallowed).com It has a lot of free video courses on java which are easy to follow along i'm also reading a few ebooks.

I used Udemy (warez disallowed) and I'm now using a book called "Starting out with Java: From control structures to data constructors" By Tony Gaddis.

I personally think that the book has helped me more than anything.

Java is a fun language to program in. I'd you don't have it already, get eclipse.

Succes!

this site is really good for any language just learning the basics even though it's all math based

https://projecteuler.net/

edit: I just remembered I compiled this list of websites a while ago, some are dead but some work. I was looking primarily for python stuff, but some of them work for anything. I posted a thread with them a couple months ago but nobody replied, hopefully you will find them useful.

I don't think it is possible to learn any language in a month 😝 there is always something to learn

Yeah its almost impossible to learn everything but I meant the basic, being
able to understand programming.

Also as a tip, not just for java, but for programming in general, your naming conventions should be camel cased? If that's what it's called.

Ex. String firstName

So your first letter of the first word would be minimized, and the beginning letter of each new word should be in capital. This is just for cleaner code and it's easier to read.

Mhm, Java's code/naming conventions. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/codeconventions-135099.html
