How do I improve my java skills?

Question

Now that I graduated from secondary school, I have this summer to do anything I want. One of those things was to improve on my java. I learnt the basics from school. Now I don't know what to do in order to become better. I still have to learn what is polymorphism, inheritance etc. But I'm a bit overwhelmed. Any tips?

Answer 3

Here is what I do: First, go through the entire course. Afterward, you'll want to practice what you can remember. Then you'll want to go through the entire course again, but this time write down notes of ANY concept that you don't fully understand. When you're done with the course, use your notes to extensively research any concept you wrote down and then practice it to solidify your learning of it. Repeat this process over and over until you no longer have to write down anything on your notes. This is an efficient method of learning the languages and ensuring that you understand each concept that you're trying to learn. Once you've done this, you'll want to seek out further resources to learn more concepts/advanced concepts for the language; repeat the same process with the other resources.

Answer 4

Think of any problem you would like to solve and start coding the solution. Get help from books, web or even friends where you are stuck. If you are successful with it, think of another problem, solve it. Keep doing this over and over again. Trust me, this is how professionals are built.

Answer 5

Practice, build as much projects as you can.. you can post them on GitHub where other Developers can help you and advise you on how to code better and cleaner.
