Hello! I've just started doing the free Java course on Udemy made by John Purcell.

The course is a bit outdated, so is it still viable to do it or not?
Because he sticks with JRE 7 for example, and we currently have JRE 8

Thanks a lot for the answers 🙂

ava 8 and there have been updates since then. Would it still be beneficial for me to continue with this course, or should I look for a more up-to-date option?

Response: While the Udemy course by John Purcell may be slightly outdated in terms of Java version, the core concepts and principles taught in the course are still relevant and valuable. If you are just starting out with Java, completing this course can provide you with a solid foundation in programming that you can build upon with more recent Java features.

However, if you are looking to learn the latest Java updates and features, it may be beneficial to supplement your learning with additional resources or consider taking a more up-to-date course. The Java programming language is continually evolving, so staying current with the latest advancements can be advantageous.

Ultimately, the decision to continue with the Udemy course or explore other options depends on your learning goals and preferences. If you are comfortable with learning slightly older Java concepts and are primarily focused on understanding fundamental programming principles, continuing with the Udemy course could still be beneficial.

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)

Java 7 is a no-go, too much has changed

#

the best thing Java introduced was being able to switch on strings & try-with-resources

#

but Java 8 introduced lambdas, and a lot of systems integrate them

#

youll still learn things that can be used, itll still be exposure
