• 15 Ways to Learn Java in just a Couple of Weeks

I would stick to doing Android as of now they'll go through Java to some depth, but at the same time I'd advise you to check some youtube videos to answer some of your question you aren't finding here, but stick to Java.

Javascript is good for learning methods, arrays, etc as well. I'd say Python isn't all that bad either.

Hey guys,

thanks for your replies!

I think in most cases of learning new stuff, very important is to understand the basics really well. I want to be good programmer in the future, with having fun writing the code and really understanding it.

On my university, there is an old-aged professor, who provides high level and old-fashioned style of learning. I think things have changed and it's hard to learn that way for people at my age.

You guys said the best for me is to stick to Java at this moment, and I'll do that (thanks again). The point is I want to learn it and understand it from the beggining. That being said, I'll prefer choose the resources like Lynda. I think sites like this works best for me, and it's fun! :)

But do they have some challenges, and exercises there too?

Too bad they don't have some student discount like here on Treehouse. I'm from Poland and it's not that easy to have money for all that stuff. Maybe I'll just buy that course for 1-month to get myself going and I'll stay here at Treehouse anyway, I don't need to move - it's great here! :)

I'll check out the books also.

And thank you again for your help, you answered all my questions. I'll think about the Lynda and check out the books also. You are right I should stick to Java, Hopefully, I'll learn this language for next 3 years..

Luke, any resources will be appreciated. I'm always ready to learn some new stuff! :) And thanks for helping me taking right path. I owe you! :)

Khaleel, I'll get back to Android course in few days for sure, but for now I'll stick to Java as you said. Thanks for your answer!

Dustin, thanks for all that stuff. reddit has some practical challenges, Lynda looks like it has nice for me course but I'll give it closer look anyways, and good read is always awesome! :)

Thanks, Maciej.
