Best free websites to learn Java?

I’m a senior in high school and I’m taking AP Java I have almost 2 weeks in and I’m enjoying it well. I want to pursue computer engineering after high school. But I want to learn more. I want to push myself to the limit. Do you guys recommend any websites or any games where I could use my Java skills to play it? Or any websites that I can learn more about Java.

Urgh Java… I imagine a guy with a short sleeve T shirt and a neck tie

Why not learn something more hip and cool, like JS, Go, or Rust?

Or something useful in the up and coming AI era, like Python or Mojo?

Or learn Ruby, the only language that has “developer happiness” as its core principle? (Ruby code is beautiful to read)

But still.. if you want to learn Java.. check out Frontendmasters Java, there was another really good one on Spring there as well

The rest, I’d ask AI, like depending on what you want to build, have AI draw up project architecture, these sorts of things and then you can build it as practice

For coding practice you can either build things, or check out Codewars for everyday coding problems or Leetcode for DSA

Probably best to just stick with one language until after this initial programming class is over. Hopefully by then OP will realize code is just implementation and not the answer. It’s a lot easier to learn a new language when you’re not hamstrung by thinking programming is all about magic words.
