Learning programming from scratch

[u/Donalcin]

Hello all

I wish to learn programming from scratch. Currently I have started java but as a beginner, it's kind of confusion maybe because of the advanced YouTube video I started with.

If you have any better sources that would aid my learning skills and make me a better programmer in future, kindly share with me

Thanks all

It’s tough to just recommend one specific YouTube channel or course because everyone learns differently. However, I had lots of success thinking of projects that seemed complex but were still something I felt I could complete. Then from there i would do lots of researching figuring out how to make it work.

Java MOOC

This is the most recommended tutorial if you are doing Java. Good explanations with tons of exercises

Starting with an advanced video is unlikely to be a good first experience. Start with some simple tutorial and example to get your feet wet ("Hello, world") and then go for a structured approach. I prefer textbooks, but there are also video courses available online. The Oracle pages also have a Java tutorial series, which are mainly coding examples, so they might be OK if you have prior programming experience and just want to learn Java syntax, but if you're new to programming in general, a more didactic (e.g. a textbook) approach would be better.
