Getting into Java
My latest role has allowed me to start learning Java as it is used heavily for API and backend. I am really loving it and regret not picking it up sooner.
Super strong typing and verbose nature makes me happy after years of developing with PHP. I am seeing a large number of similarities between Java and the latest PHP 8.1 release, and I like it. 👍
Here are some links to videos and courses I have completed and what I am working on at the moment.
Current Course
Pathway on Educative.io
Online with sample code and browser based IDE. There are examples and exercises to complete, and you can run the code online in the browser based IDE.
What I am really liking is that there are no videos, it's all read & write based learning. After so many video courses I think this format is great and helps with memory retention.
