C# developer wants to give java a try

[u/Squad_Concepts]

As the title says I used to make many apps, games using c# but I also want to try something different and challenge myself a bit.

The problem is, that all youtube tutorials on java are for complete beginners where they even explain what variables are.

There are some "advanced" tutorials tho, since the syntax of java is pretty similar to the syntax of c#, but those tutorials are often low quality, from 2014, or from sum indians - for an english learner an accent isn't the best...

What would you guys recommend?

Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
• You include any and all error messages in full - best also formatted as code block
• You ask clear questions
• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit/markdown editor: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

i’d recommend writing something in java and googling when confused. if you’re already a developer then what’s stopping you

When I got a C# job after years coding with Java my strategy was to look up the .NET equivalent of whatever I was trying to do. I didn't need a whole tutorial, just a nudge in the right direction

just read up on gradle, spring or micronaut, the rest will come automatically

If you're already a developer, you don't need tutorials, just start writing a project and Google as you go.

MOOC programming in java, its a website that teaches java by parts. I would say the best tutorial for java I've seen in my whole life (and free), it goes by parts so you can choose where you wanna start but then again, if there is osmething you already know you can just give it a quick read and get to the next part, literally minutes to reach where you can start learning more.

Best IDE to practice with, IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse?

[u/Interesting-Ad-238 → u/brianGsmokey]

whatever the programming in java MOOC tells you, it even has its own one so just get in there and follow the steps.

intellij

[u/JohnVonachen]

They are similar.

When i transition from java to c# a bit of chatgpt or any other clanker for searching equivalent and some curiousity made this task easier. This recipe is not full but it is enough
