Hello!

I just wanted to make a post to share my excitement over discovering programming with Java. For context, my previous knowledge of any programming language barely extended into classes as I always struggled with understanding more than the basic basic things (classes? like what you wear on your face? get and set what? the table?).

I really liked the idea of programming though! So over the years (maybe 15-20?), I tried learning (and failed) with different languages, hoping something would help things click. I’ve tried C#, Basic, JavaScript, HTML/CSS and more but never Java. As to why not, I have no clue.

The reason for Java, now, is that I’ve been playing Minecraft a lot recently (my adhd thanks you Mojang) and I figured, why not give it a try? So I started a free online course covering the basics: variables, methods, objects… A week later, and after a lot of DuckDuckGoing, I now understand not only the basics but classes, IO, exceptions, and so much more! I’m currently wrapping my head around Generics but I’m having a wonderful time with it. After that, who knows :)

Take care and thank you for reading!
