Hello, I am a uni student that hasn't been doing java for that long. I did an internship for the spring framework, but I feel that I miss some Java fundamentals. I mostly know how to do something, for example I can convert an array to a list but I don't know how they work in the background and why I would use one and not the other. I know I should use the equals method for comparing string but why exactly?

So, with that in mind, I want to catch up on that sort of stuff. What would be the best way to do that? Do I just take a book and go through it understanding every fundamental part even though "I know" how to make a CRUD app with spring or do I take a course or learn the missing fundamentals along as I do uni projects. Thanks!

While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

Don't forget to close your thread using the command </help-thread close:1027500463647621170> when your question has been answered, thanks.

MOOC is a completely free introductory Java course created by the University of Helsinki, it is a great way to learn Java from the ground up.

It consists of two parts, one at beginner, and another at intermediate level. The end of the course is marked by creating your own Asteroids game clone!

Even though the instructions show how to configure and use NetBeans for the course, you can use IntelliJ. To use IntelliJ, simply install the TMC plugin by opening IntelliJ -> File -> Settings -> Plugins and searching for TMC. You will then be able to use IntelliJ to complete MOOC.

(the course is available in both English and Finnish)
