java-programming VS Exercism - Scala Exercises

If you want to learn Java, do the MOOC Java Programming. Contrary to Codecademy, this is a proper University course. It is completely free of charge, textual, and extremely practice oriented.

I am close to finishing the first course of the University of Helsinki on Java and I am starting to look for what I will do once I have completed both course.

Se souber inglês e estiver buscando um curso partindo do inciante, recomendo muito esse curso da faculdade de helsinki https://java-programming.mooc.fi/ é inclusive o indicado no r/java

Learning Java from a thick textbook sounds painful in general. I’d recommend getting a used copy of a more comprehensive book for $20 or doing the free online courses through through University of Helsinki: https://java-programming.mooc.fi

MOOC Java Programming from the University of Helsinki. Simply the best Java course around.

So I looked for a compiled, strongly typed language, and I found Java. Althouth the University of Helsinki is probably less famous than Harvard, it offers 2 outstanding course on Java.

When I got my first job as a junior software engineer, my team lead suggested I take a course by MIT, Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python to improve my fundamental knowledge of computer science. The course duration was 9 weeks and I learned a lot of theory about programming and picked up Python syntax. I liked the course and especially the exercises that were presented there. At that time I also discovered an amazing website called Exercism. I thought since I became familiar with the Python syntax and knew how to build simple apps, maybe it would be nice to explore some AI-related stuff. But after playing around with it I realized AI is really not for me. I'm not into analyzing data and everything that goes with it. I was more of an engineering and problem-solving type of developer.

Exercism

Nice, this reminds me of Exercism, which I wish was more widely known since they seem to be good folks. (disclaimer, I donate to them)

Exercism, the free programming learning platform has initiated a challenge named: 48in24.

Last year, Exercism put together the #12in23 challenge. The goal was to learn a new programming language each month throughout the year. I was one of 135 people who completed the challenge, and I learned a lot along the way!

The list of languages contains every language on Exercism, excluding ones that I've used before, web languages, or ones that I can't download for some reason.

Learning by doing, with the help of mentors. Excellent way to learn a next language (as you are already familiar with the programming concepts).

Exercism is pretty good for beginners with some programming language, they are open source and worth contributing to.
