The “Clueless” phase

The “OH! it’s starting to make sense” phase
You’ve been able to have written a few programs and are making fewer mistakes.
The “I’m invincible” phase
Your confidence begins to grow as it matches your competence. No challenge seems too difficult at this point

Weldone sir. Am in your kind of shoe now. I want to start learning programming proper and my target is Java. But am confused now as to what material to use because I have no programming knowledge at all. I can afford to spend more than 2 hours per day to it but getting the right tutorship is the problem as am thinking of attending a local training skl but fund is the problem. Can self-tutorship work?
Thanks

first you need to understand the concept of computer programming. that's the most important than learning to code.

1. go to edx.org, type "introduction to computer programming using python" and justt "introduction to computerr programming by david malan" (this one is highly recommended). do all thee assignments even if it takes time

2. make sure you finish these two courses before and while taking them try to brush up math knowledge. you'll need a litttle of it.

after you're done with these two options, you'll thank me later.

I study mechanical engineering. And I intend to do my msc. In software eNgineering, obviously, due to demands for software engineers globally. However, the school told me that I do need to have a good knowledge of Java, a programming language I basically don't know anything about. But I'm willing to learn this language. Please, can someone advise me the best way to learn it and how long it'll take for me to learn the basics. Thank for your meaningful contribution in advance.
codecademy.com if you put your heart to it, it shouldn't take too long to learn.
