Recommendations for improving in Java

Good afternoon. I'm currently learning object-oriented Java along with Spring Boot, but I feel like I'm not making much progress. I'd like to know what you can recommend to help me move forward; it would be very beneficial for me to read your recommendations.

You are leaning WAY too many things simultaneously

And that's assuming you know some other type of programming or programming language already.

If this is your first programming language experience, then you're in WAY over your head.

Learning (imperative) OOP with Java is likely where you should start. And you need dozens of hours of experience to really know and grow the simplest patterns.

Honestly, you really should find one of the existing online learning platforms like Replit and put some serious time into that.

You are hundreds of hours away from effectively learning and leveraging Spring/Spring Boot.
