CodeAcademy Java Program Released

[C++]

I felt that this information was pertinent enough to post in this Sub Forum. Today CodeAcademy has released their first self-teaching tutorial for Java! I am VERY excited to check this out. CodeAcademy is a great resource for anyone to get a FREE introduction to different programming languages. Hope you enjoy this as much as I will!

Extremely User-Friendly! CodeAcademy is an exceptional website to utilize if you are looking to learn how to program in certain languages, advance what you know in a specific language, or simply get an introduction.

Just a tip, once you go through Code Academy's program, a good way to get some solid practice in the manipulation of Strings and Arrays and learning how to build Recursive methods, CodingBat.com is a great resource from beginner up through advanced coding practices.

String manipulation can be a pain, and too often we get used to using libraries, like List<int> instead of int[], out of ease of just being able to go ".Add()" to the list. But, understanding arrays, 2D arrays is critical in the real world of programming and these practices hit you on some of the basic stuff, straightforward stuff, up to the ones that will make a seasoned programmer scratch their head. Great practice for when you have a job interview in the field and they "test" your coding ability.

Again, it's just basic stuff and doesn't necessarily get into tougher algorithm design or common algorithms, or teach you how to manipulate a Binary tree or something, but boy will it make you go at mastering the array, string manipulation, and get you comfortable with recursion, which is honestly, something even experienced programmers are often not very good at.
