Hey @Bineli-ui,

If you have basic knowledge of programming in some language, then it is pretty easy to transition to Java. However, if you haven't done coding before in any language then I would suggest you brush up basic concepts of programming in some language with shallow learning curve like Python and then move to Java, but if you wish you can directly start with Java. In any case I know you will be able to get it.

Click to see detailed steps to learn Java from basics.

Basics of Java

1. Understand Core Concepts:

   • Learn about variables, data types, and operators.
   • Understand control structures (if-else, loops).
   • Study functions/methods and their parameters.

2. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP):

   • Learn about classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, and abstraction.
   • Practice creating small OOP projects like a calculator or a library management system.

3. Collections Framework:

   • Understand arrays, ArrayLists, HashMaps, and Sets.
   • Practice iterating and manipulating collections.

4. Practice:

   • Use platforms like HackerRank or LeetCode for problem-solving.

Move to Graphical Interfaces

1. Learn Swing:

   • Start with simple GUI components (JFrame, JPanel, JLabel, JButton).
   • Learn to handle user events using ActionListeners.

2. Explore JavaFX:

   • Move to JavaFX for more modern and robust graphical interfaces.
   • Learn layout managers, FXML for designing, and CSS for styling.

3. Build Projects:

   • Create simple GUI-based applications like a to-do list or a game (Tic-Tac-Toe).
   • Gradually build more complex systems like a point-of-sale system.

4. Resources:

   • Books: Head First Java (for basics) and Java Swing (for GUI).
   • Online Courses: Look for Java courses on platforms like Coursera, Udemy, or YouTube.

Hope it helped.
