When I started my IT journey, I was told I needed a basic computer language knowledge. All of my research told me to start with either Java or Python, as they are not only the most popular but also the easiest to learn. I recently completed an Intro to Python class a few months ago, and now I am starting to learn Java in my current class.
The first thing I did was read a lot of tutorials. While
this gave me a good overview, I am a person who needs to actually do things to
learn; just reading doesn’t help me much, so I went straight to the Oracle
website to download the JDK at Java Downloads
| Oracle.
Once this was completed, I then tried multiple IDEs before I
decided I liked the Eclipse IDE best. This was partially because it was so similar
to the one I used in my Python class, PyCharm.
I downloaded it from Eclipse
Downloads | The Eclipse Foundation.
Once the downloads were complete, I went to a few of my
favorite sites to help get through my first assignment:
- · W3 Schools: Java Tutorial
- · Geeks For Geeks: Free Java Course Online for Beginners - Java Programming - GeeksforGeeks
- · Programming with Mosh: Java Full Course for Beginners
I hope these will give me a good foundation to build my knowledge.
