I am wanting to start learning Java sometime soon, but I am unsure where to start. Are there any good sites/books you know of?

Many thanks!

Scratch is actually a great place to program if you are learning JavaScript.

For Java, I used tutorials by thenewboston on YouTube. He has a website where you can find his Beginner Java, Intermediate Java, and SO much more. You could start there. After I finished his tutorials, I tried making programs and looked up anything I needed to know.

Have you looked at programming with Processing at all? It's Java-based, and you can learn a lot of Java through it, but it's very much easier to get started than raw Java, especially with the sorts of things people tend to do in Scratch.

You can also look at the Java Trails, which are pretty good. I learned Java from there by flicking through the tutorials. Java's syntax is pretty easy anyway.

And the Joy of Code tutorials with it.

As of now, I'm learning JavaScript from Codeacamedy. They also teach other languages, html, JQuery, Python, etc.

Vswe has a few great tutorials for learning Java on Youtube.

Coding and a cup of Java
Thinking with Objects

You can see other courses he does here!

Hope this helps!

Thanks, everybody! I greatly appreciate the help!
