Starting with Java language

Question

What do you think about these lessons? I'm a total beginner, and I'm not sure is this a good way to start. I think this professor is fantastic!!! His way of teaching is wonderful, he shows how one should think like programmers. I'm only wondering is it good to start with so old version of Java.

Answer 1

If you are a total beginner.. you should have basic concepts of easy languages first and understand programming.

First learn easy languages like html, C , etc and then understand the use of different functions.. use of variables .. how to operate and many more.. then go on with java.. dont just directly jump into it..
if it was helpful .plz upvote and dont forget to mark as best ..plzzzzzz

Answer 2

Hum. OK, So in the end the language you start don't make much difference. You just need to focus in learn the Programmer Paradigms like Imperative Programming or POO programming.

But i should say for starter is really logical to start with Imperative Programmimg. And the better languages for that is C and C++ because you can learn better about memory management and pointers.

After this you can start POO. Good languages for that are Java and Python.

In the end doesn't really matter. I just not recommend start learning POO with C++. Advance POO with C++ is a real pain

Answer 6

Thank you! I heard a lot of different opinions about the first language for learning, those questions were discussed so many times. I just want to know if somebody tried those Stanford tutorials and what do you think about it
