More Java courses

Hello and apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but I did not find in the search.

I really want to succeed at learning Java and I think Craig is a great teacher, but the offerings here are short. This is an incredible starting point, but if I want to expand on learning Java and stay motivated, I've got to have more lined up once I finish here. Can anyone suggest a good site for learning Java online paid or free? I don't mind paying as long as the courses are comprehensive and teachers are like Craig. Free is good too as I want to soak this up like a sponge.

Any direction would be greatly appreciated!

I'm am also eager to learn Java.

I know there is another Java course scheduled to release Feb 2015.

I've been trying to learn with a book published by a professor at Princeton University. http://introcs.cs.princeton.edu/java/home/

Some free Java books on GitHub https://github.com/vhf/free-programming-books/blob/master/free-programming-books.md#java

I"m told this is a good tutorial http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/

Udemy has some courses and there is a sale use code SECRET70 to save 70% off everything

I am thinking of signing up for http://www.codingame.com/start

I"m excited to see what they add to Treehouse

Jami, thanks for the additional info! I too can't wait to see the next course that should drop this month.

I'm definitely going to checkout some of the other sources you suggested, but wanted to add one to your list. I found a great book called "Sams Teach Yourself Java in 21 days". It's been a great read thus far and between the book and Craig's courses, I think I definitely have a good start.

Good luck with your studying!
