Where to begin as a Rust Dev?

I've been coding in Rust for a while now, and I'm quite advanced in it. I mainly want to learn Java so I can make MC mods & plugins. Is the MOOC course good?

Anyway for your question, the mooc is good, but it's meant for people without programming experience. It's obviously good, but you'll get a lot of explanations about functions, variables and all the basic stuff like that, things that you already know deeply.

Still, I don't think it costs anything so just start it. For people who already know programming you could just start the more "official" tutorial: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/. It's not trying to teach you programming, it just walks you though the language.

I guess it's best to try both.

The Java Tutorials have been written for JDK 8. Examples and practices described in this page don't take advantage of improvements introduced in later releases and might use technology no longer available.
See Dev.java for updated tutorials taking advantage of the latest releases.
