    There are some online tutorials, but I'd also recommend reading the official documentation.

    I would book a couple of weeks away somewhere take a shit load of LSD and read and practise.

    LSD is the only thing that will help it make sense.

    I started out with some basic programs like tic tax toe or text games. After that I tried to extend them by adding new features like save states (which involve io) gui (javafx or swing) etc.

    My native language is German and I heavily used "Java ist such nur eine Insel 7" while learning it. Also, the documentation is your friend. Probably every problem has been solved somewhere on SO or github.com.

    Personally recommend the book head first java. It's a complete work through of the java language and algorithms in general.

    All be it if you have choice learn c# over Java. Just my two cents

    @compSci why C# over Java? It would be way better to make a comparison or link to multiple content that are giving examples. I would say that, for a statically typed language, Java is perfect for beginners. The programming language for beginners would be, imo, Ruby or python.

    @SirWindfield I'm not disputing that java isn't a good starter for beginners but he doesn't state whether he's a beginner or not.
    Also, c# is statically typed too, I've used both languages and personally prefer c# and hindsight I wish I would have started with c#.
    Just my experience with the too.

    If you already know somewhat basic of java like the syntax, OOP concepts etc., I would say the best way to learn it is by solving a real world problem. Find a problem and try to solve it using java. Build something. This stands true for any new programming language you want to learn. 😊

    He's my serious answer: pick one, way better for beginners than any video course. Well if you're not in a rush.
