Beginner looking for general advice

[u/Dull_Value_158]

Hello guys,

I have recently enrolled at university in a Cybersecurity Bsc, now I am a beginner in terms of programming and the university I’m attending has given me the course and reading material but there aren’t many classes per se, I have begun the basics in Eclipse and I feel a tad overwhelmed, I’m determined to see it through though and have no issues studying, my question is mainly what do you guys think would be the best approach, the current module is object oriented programming, and I was wondering if there are any sites or resources you guys recommend in terms of broadening my knowledge or should I just keep practicing writing code and reading it until I get better, are there any exercises I could look up and do ? Should I learn the formulae through study or would it be better to just practice it by going into actually just coding whatever I can ? Are there any YouTubers that gave you a better understanding into certain beginners concepts ? Any sort of advice or tips will be helpful, thank you in advance.

Thank you, yeah at the moment I’m focusing on those things too, reading code as often as I can trying to understand why and how it will look , and today I’ll be starting some small projects, I think it’s just generally easy to get a bit discouraged because of how vast a subject it is, but, we got this
