JavaRush - learning Java programming in the form of an online game

How about a completely new approach to learning programming and education in general? Unlike anything you've seen before. What about learning where there is a goal, a means and an outcome? I am pleased to introduce you to online courses for learning programming in Java.

1. Training is done in the format of an online game

You take a task, complete it and receive a reward. I think this is both understandable and familiar to you. The tasks are varied: reading code, solving problems, video tutorials, fixing errors in code, refactoring, adding new features, large tasks, writing games and much more.

2. Only the essentials

To prevent the course from dragging on for five years, I threw out everything useful from it and left only the essentials. I analyzed dozens of vacancies on the labor market. The course includes all the topics that a newbie Java Junior Developer needs to know to get a job.

3. I approached your training thoroughly.

The full course contains 500 mini-lectures and 1200(!) practical problems . The tasks are small, but there are many, many of them. Just the minimum, by completing which you will gain such valuable experience. There are also big tasks, real projects and other types of practice.

4. You can't complete the game without becoming a programmer.

The course is divided into 40 levels. You can move to the next level only if you have solved most of the problems in the current level. Starting from small and light to large and very useful. Everyone who reaches the end will receive 300-500 hours of practical experience. A serious bid for victory. And to work.

5. Purposeful preparation for the interview

The internship , available at level 30, focuses on learning advanced technologies needed for employment, resume writing, and teamwork skills. It is planned to add video recordings of interviews and their analysis. And, of course, typical interview questions with answers are available in the second half of the course. You will also need a “programmer development plan for five years” and a “map of future programmer opportunities” for the next five years.

6. Problems can be solved directly on the website

It is very convenient and effective. Just now in lectures you analyzed a new problem, and now right there you have to do your own by analogy. For those who want to solve problems in the IDE , there is a plugin that allows you to receive a task in two clicks, and submit it for review in one. Lectures, analysis of examples, solving problems directly on the site, solving problems in the IDE - the gap between theory and practice is thinner than ever.

7. Instant task check (less than a second)

Are you familiar with the situation when you submitted a task/work for review, but had to wait a week for the results, because... Is the inspector busy? This is the case in most face-to-face courses. In JavaRush, you get the results of compiling and checking a task in less than a second after clicking the “Run/Check” button

8. To become a programmer, all you need is brains and a computer.

This will take you from 3 to 6 months depending on how much time you devote to practice.

9. Support

Of course, you will have questions as you solve thousands of problems. We have launched a special service where you can ask your questions about tasks. Other Javarush students, moderators, volunteers or service founders will answer there.

10. JavaRush loves it when you use VK while studying

There is a group on VK dedicated to the project . In it you can discuss IT news, share your achievements with friends, watch video tutorials or ask for help. The group posts all news related to the development of the JavaRush project.

11. Material coverage

The lectures have many links to various websites where you can read explanations from other lecturers. JavaRush recommends reading the books Head First Java and Thinking in Java . The presentation of lecture material is organized in such a way as to develop the skill of searching the Internet for the necessary material, which is necessary for every programmer. My goal is for you to understand the material and not just listen to me.

12. Community

We believe that strength lies in unity. That's why we created a Community where you can ask questions, discuss various topics, share articles and blog. Plus, the community is the perfect place to get a dating job. So don't hesitate to ask smart questions and give smart answers. The more active you are and help others, the more likely it is that another community member will invite you to join their project.

Junior Java Developer Course

A good start is half done

Learning on JavaRush can be divided into two stages. The first stage is the Java Core course, which is taught in 40 levels on JavaRush. Java Core contains many practical nuances, the description of which can rarely be found in books. In addition to Java, the course covers popular design patterns, working with XML , HTML , JavaScript , JSON , Jsoup , Jackson frameworks , and, of course, working with Tomcat . Recommended reading include Head First Java and Thinking in Java . The second stage is a 12-week internship , during which you will learn the technology stack and become familiar with a variety of acronyms. Here is a list of what you will learn during the internship: Spring, Hibernate, Spring Web MVC, JPA, Git, Maven, Log4j, Logback, JMX, JUnit 4, NoSQL, ORM, DTO, HQL/ JPQL, BoneCP, Commons Database Connection Pooling , HikariCP, REST, Jackson, AJAX. jQuery, Spring Security, working with Dandelion Datatables via Ajax, JSTL/ Taglib, Heroku. Those who complete the internship will be able to highlight leading technologies in their resume, describe their work project, and prepare for employment. Programming is interesting!
