Learning a new programming language would be a hassle unless you have a clear learning path to it.
similarly java,
java is one of the highly demanded
programming languages in the current IT industry .
also it is one of the most
sophisticated languages.
to excel in such a language you
would definitely need a planned learning path.
Today's will be all about the tips to
learn java in a faster and effective manner,
The important tips to learn java
programming language,
1 – Basic
fundamentals
2 – Algorithms and flowcharts
3 – Start coding from scratch
4 – Understand what exactly is debugging
5 – Try some simple projects
6 – Stay updated
Let’s discuss each one of them in
detail
1 – Basic Fundamentals
Data types variables operators
logical functions and conditional statements are building blocks of any
programming language.
This is the best place to get
started with java,
you can find tons of resources
online that could help you with the fundamentals absolutely for free of cost.
The core java tutorial from simply
learn could prove to be a good resource to kick start your java learning path.
2 – Algorithms And Flowcharts
You might be wondering if algorithms
and flowcharts are just visual representations of the logic behind the code,
not just you but every beginner ends
up with the same picture.
But did you know that algorithms and
flowcharts is where the solution actually starts to take shape.
Yes the algorithms and flowcharts
are used to design a solution to explain step-by-step approach of the solution
to the problem.
If the solution is potentially
feasible then you can get started with coding the solution.
So you must be capable of setting
your algorithms and flowcharts carefully prior to getting started with code.
I'll link a full tutorial on
algorithms and data structures to better help you with everything at one place.
followed by algorithms we have our
test trials.
3 – Start Coding From Scratch
After you are comfortable with the
basics algorithms and flow charts,
it is time you try implementing them
by writing actual code,
trust me at this point most of you might
face trouble implementing the logic using code.
if you face any such issue it is
better you turn back to the drawing board and learn the basics of programming
again.
It won't cost you much time compared
to the time you would waste in the future trying to crack higher level logics
as they might seem more complicated than they actually are,
4 – Understand What Exactly Is Debugging
Debugging you might be thinking the
compiler does it but,
there is a gigantic difference
between translating the code to execute and debug the code.
it's simple your logic for the code
could be correct,
but not perfect in a few situations.
for example let us presume that,
you are a beginner and you are told
to write a code for division operation.
let us imagine that you have written
a code with three variables,
A dividend
B divisor and
C is equals to result
That is c is equals to a divided by
b.
now your code might work in ideal
situations,
where the divisor is less than the
dividend and the divisor is not zero,
but in case the divisor is zero or
the dividend is smaller than the divisor,
then you might see your code getting
compromised.
Here you need to make minor twists and turns to your code and implement exception handling to resolve the situation by throwing an exception to the user instead of throwing an error in runtime.
5 – Try Some Simple Projects
A fully fledged project.
There are many projects available on
online as open source and,
you can also get started with your
own ideas.
creating a fully fledged project
will put your skills to test and,
open a window to learn new things,
that you might have missed in the
learning phase.
6 – Stay Updated
It's a fact that major programming
languages ides and frameworks roll out,
new updates every month every
quarter every year or even after a few years.
No matter what to be competent in
the industry you have to stay updated.
so you have to be constantly checking out for new updates and try to up skill in time.
