i want to get into programming and im about to have 6 weeks free time, ive looked around on youtube for some basic guides but they all assume i have some kind of base to work with and im completely new, they also go wayyyy to fast for me or are generally hard to follow.

are not very beginner-friendly.

I recommend starting with the basics of Java programming by taking an online course or tutorial. Websites like Codecademy, Udemy, and Coursera offer introductory Java courses for beginners that cover the fundamentals of programming, syntax, data types, and control flow.

You can also check out resources such as Oracle's Java tutorials or the official Java documentation to learn about the language's features and best practices. Additionally, the book "Head First Java" is a popular choice for beginners looking to learn Java in a fun and engaging way.

Practice is key when learning to program, so be sure to work on coding exercises and projects to reinforce your understanding of the concepts you learn. Websites like LeetCode and HackerRank offer coding challenges that can help you improve your problem-solving skills and apply what you've learned.

Finally, don't hesitate to ask questions and seek help from online communities like Stack Overflow or Reddit's r/learnprogramming subreddit. Joining a Discord server dedicated to Java programming can also provide you with a supportive community of fellow learners and experienced developers who can offer guidance as you progress in your learning journey.

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)

this just seems like too much at once

#

looking for something more step by step

#

and less wordy cos this is super overwhelming ngl

#

I don't think you could have simpler than that

#

it's a 140H course

#

not some 20H learn everything super fast

might’ve misjudged

👍

lone shore
#

see if you're able to make a simple program with what you've learned so far

naive whale
#

im completely new i only have a small amount of experience with basic python

#

from uk education

#

which isnt great

lone shore
#

write something

#

when you come across problems, ask here. thats where learning occurs

#

you can learn through book reading, and you can learn through application. both are different learning strategies, and both should be used

i cant make it do anything

#

so how would i know how to do what
