I'd start with this course:

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)

Note:

  • The MOOC supports up to Java 11. Using a newer version may mean your code doesn't submit to MOOC servers successfully
  • If you want to use IntelliJ you will need to install a 2023 version (which one TBC) - the plugin doesn't work with later versions
  • If you want to use VS Code, be aware that a lot of users have configuration issues with it
  • If you use the TMC version of NetBeans, you should install Java 11 (eg the Temurin OpenJDK 11 from the Adoptium project). Netbeans can fail to run with newer editions of Java

NetBeans is not a very nice IDE to use, but it is the easiest to get going for submission of MOOC exercises.
