Three Resources to Help You Learn Java

Java is an object-oriented programming language, and it is one of the most popular programming languages used by developers. If you’re looking to become a freelance software developer, looking to join a Java developer company, or just trying to add a tool to your toolbox, Java is a great language to learn. What sets Java apart is that the same piece of code can be run on any platform without being recompiled. Fortunately, Java is easy to learn and there are a few ways to learn it.

Classes

If you prefer learning in a traditional classroom setting, you can take a class in Java at a local college or university. This is easiest if you’re already enrolled at a school, but even if you aren’t, you can usually pay for the single course by enrolling as a non-degree student. If you end up liking the course, you may end up using that credit towards getting an entire degree. Sometimes non-credit courses are also offered by colleges which don’t’ require enrollment.

Online Classes

Online classes and tutorials can also help you learn Java. Learning a computer language means you’re going to be sitting at your computer anyway, so it only makes sense to look online for help. You can take online classes from a university that will give you college credit, or you can take free, non-credit classes. If you’re looking more for more of a crash course instead of a thorough education, you can look for tutorials that will get you doing what you want to do quickly.

Reference Books


Finally, you can also use a reference book to learn Java. This is only recommended for those who are already familiar with programming basics. These books are huge, and the language within is very technical, so you’re probably not going to read it cover to cover. Instead, you can simply use it as a reference when you get stuck. By having a reference book handy while taking a class or following tutorials, you will learn Java in no time. Once you have the knowledge, you can apply at a Java developer company or start working on your own projects.
