I know learning doesn't happen overnight and it takes time and practice. But on average how long does it take to "click". That moment when everything makes sense.
How proficient do you need to be to make an android app that actually functions?
Professional for 10 years, still learning every day!
I think it's more of a gradual click. Lots of stuff to learn, not just syntax and technical bits, but design patterns and best practices, particular libraries, and so on. I'm about a year in myself, and I'm just starting to feel like I could get a job soon. But, haven't been reading Java every day, as I'm studying at university and got other classes besides programming. My guess is, if you study Java every day - you could probably get employed in 6 months.
as a absolute beginner I'm asking pleaseeeeeeee guide meeeeee

I'm already attending college for a different field but I'd like another skill under my belt as well. Should be noted that I don't really have any prior programming knowledge.
I am studying in college and due to other subjects, I am not getting time to study which I am interested in. Can anyone tell me how much should I study in a day to learn Java in a better way? And what are the topics on which I need to focus more??
Let's say a complete beginner started learning Java, is there perhaps a road map to see what they should learn to go on and develop apps?. I'm referring to simple apps first, such as a calculator, tic tac toe, etc. I'm also referring to the development of android apps. Thanks
Just a quick one for any Programmers out there that could give me their two cents?
I’ve started a course in University which is essentially a conversion course, where they take people from other disciplines and teach them a qualification in software engineering. So essentially I have only started programming in the past three weeks.
The first three weeks of the course they crammed what I understand to be Java core into that time period. Basically two semesters worth of stuff in three weeks.
I am just wondering how long did it actually take some of you to get to grips with Java core? Comfortably? Maybe up to intermediate level?
I want to start with Java and then Android development may be with kotlin. It would be appreciated if you can also drop some learning resource too
Thank you
Apparently I want to learn enough Java for Android development, given that I have learned Python(including OOP), how many hours will it take to learn Java so that I can start app development?
Im a frontend developer with around 4 yoe, I already know advanced javascript and typescript, also I am able to work with node.js and I have knowledge about backend overall, i know OOP, and some design patterns.
I already know the basics, but I know that java usually uses frameworks, so,
how long could it take to me to learn java enough to get a job as java backend developer?
I’m doing a project for a class in school where we have to build a functioning website. My group of people is using Java as our language of choice. I don’t really know it at all. How long should it take me to learn it? Also with website development what are the most important aspects to learn for this specific project? Prof says it’s a really big deal and that this project has helped past students land jobs so I don’t want to fail. Also the best place to learn this? I’ve heard of FCA and TOP are the best places to learn for free.
So my father's friend offered me a job ( Java based ) and I was a complete noob at that time, so he and my father both talked to me and gave me 3 months to learn Java. But me being me I was procrastinating it for 45 days thinking that I can learn it tomorrow and that tomorrow has never come. So if I learn Java 8 hours a day, can I be job ready? Sry for my bad english not a native speaker
So I took my university's intro java class about a year ago, didn't too well in it but still passed, and my major requires the second java course (Java 2) to be completed. Im considering either taking it in the fall so I can use the summer to prepare for it, or taking it during summer quarter and using the 2-3 weeks in between spring qtr and summer qtr to prepare.
Is it feasible to relearn all the material in Java 1 within 2-3 weeks at least decent enough to be somewhat prepared for Java II, to the point where the class can be passed? Like, is it possible to learn all the intro concepts like static methods, if/else, for loops, while loops, polymorphism/inheritance, basic arrays? Just to emphasize I did struggle toward the end of Java 1 lol.
Should I take Java 2 in the summer, or should I take it during the fall?
I took it at the University of Washington, so the courses I'm referring to are Cse 142 and 143, just in case anyone is familiar with them.
Thank You
Just wondering how long it will take to be fairly decent at Java. Assuming I have some, but limited programming experience. I start classes for Computer Science in 6 months and my Uni starts with Java. Was hoping to get ahead and Ive been teaching myself in my spare time. Will I have a decent grasp 6 months in?
You can get a job in 6 months.
I went through john Purcell's udemy java course within a month and a half and am pretty decent now. I've also made a couple of apps and am working on coding projects with my company now that I've shown some proficiency with java. It doesn't take long at all.
10 weeks? Apparently you can do it in 24 hours!

EDIT:
Okay, so only 1 person found my answer amusing, but not amusing enough to upvote. The real question is how good do you need to be in 10 weeks?
If you get yourself a good book (the one linked above has some good reviews on Amazon), then in 10 weeks you might be proficient enough to do something useful in Java, but it takes years to become expert. Any time spent between 10 weeks and several years will move you from beginner towards expert.
Oh and read Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years.
OK, based on some of the previous answers, I am expecting to get downvoted for this, but, I think you are delusional to think you can learn, on your own, how to program in Java in 10 weeks with no programming background. No person, with NO programming experience, other than some sort of prodigy, is going to learn to program in Java or almost any language in 10 weeks.
For clarity, copying and running hello world from a book does not make you a programmer. Hell, it will most likely take days just to get that working in some IDE.
Now, can you study and potentially pass some test? Maybe, but that depends on the depth and format of the test.
If I asked if I could become a doctor in 10 weeks, I would get laughed at for asking, so I am somewhat surprised at the answers that indicate that it is somewhat possible. I can stick a bandaid on my daughter now, but it hardly makes me a medical professional, it just means I managed their version of hello world.
