What to do next?

Question

Ok, I've done the Java tutorial here on sololearn, and now I would like to learn more. Have you guys any suggestions on any small practice projects? Or maybe a web site with further tutorials? I've done some of the codecademy on Java but that was mostly repetition.

Answer 1

I purchased a course on Udemy a while ago “java for beginners”, I cant remember the exact name, but I believe its the highest rated, I got a lot out of that starting out, but realistically the best way to learn is by just doing and searching for answers to problems as you go (google, here, stackoverflow, oracle documentation..etc).

As for projects, try and pick something that interests you or can benefit you personally. For my first real project, I created a “Vehicle Service Log” program that I can use to record any maintenatnce I do to my vehicle, it contains a table including the date/type of service/description of service and cost. Each time I service my vehicle, I open my program, hit the “Add entry” button and fill out the table sections mentioned above, this creates a new text file storing the information as well as reading from those text files and displaying the information to the table each time i open the program.

Apologies if I’m rambling, but that is an example of how I used my own personal need/interest to create something that not only do I consistently use, taught me a lot along the way. The best projects you can work on are the ones you are truly interested in.

So I guess ask yourself if there is anything you can make that you might use, something that you might be interested in, and dont worry if it has already been made, if you think that way you’ll never get anything done.

P.S a great book to read is “Head First Java” its old, but its still very informative and quite a fun/easy read, it doesn’t drown you in all that brain numbing technical jargain.

Answer 2

Complete HTML , PHP, then other

Answer 3

emil möller No problem! and if that’s something you’re truly interested in doing, don’t let complexity shy you away from it. Maybe don’t jump full force into it, you’ll most likely get confused, but start small and work your way up, maybe watch some videos on creating and implementing a basic app for android, see where it might take you.

Answer 4

Ok thanks man, really inspired me to continue to learn

Answer 5

Ah ok, thanks for the answer. I'll try think of something I can do. That I have use of. I would really like to make something for android so I can open it in my phone. But that might be to complicated. But anyway really thanks
