Anyone know good places to learn Java Code? Trying to learn so I can start coding my own plugins.
yeah
youtube
just search java coding tutorial
doesnt matterAny videos/channels you reccomened?
reallyGo on Udemy there are multiple courses on Spigot coding.
Thanks for the info! I will definitely jump on that! Thanks!Honestly, YouTube is the best way that I learnt. Don't make the mistake of getting into mod / plugin development before you have a really good understanding of Java. If this isn't your first language I'd personally recommend learning another programming language like python first, as it allows you to learn the core concepts of programming as java doesn't exactly make this easy. After that, hopefully, it shouldn't take too long to learn java. Python is may more beginner-friendly and has way more updated tutorials that I can find over Java. Plus, with Java, just to make a basic program you'll have to write a lot of code that you won't understand for a while since a lot of the things that make programming less intuitive are required just to make it print something to the screen (access modifiers, static members, functions and return types, classes and object-oriented programming, packages etc.). At first you can just ignore these, but at some point you'll need to understand this as they are crucial parts of Java and coming from another language means you may already have an understanding about some of these but in a much simpler context.
I find sites like HackerRank and Codeforces good as in my opinion it's easy to learn the syntax of a language, but significantly harder to think of a programmable solution to a problem. These websites also help you to build more efficient and usually therefore more idiomatic code. Obviously, use these websites to supplement learning as they aren't really a way to learn a programming language.
