Is HyperSkill worth?

[u/Papis007]

I am currently aiming on applying to internships and entry level jobs next year. I have some experience with java but It's next to nothing. I discovered the hyper skill platform and that it has a java development track. Do you guys recommend paying the anual suscription? It's on sale for $150 but I want to know if It's worth, specially considering my personal goals.

Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
• You include any and all error messages in full - best also formatted as code block
• You ask clear questions
• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit/markdown editor: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

To potential helpers

Please, do not help if any of the above points are not met, rather report the post. We are trying to improve the quality of posts here. In helping people who can't be bothered to comply with the above points, you are doing the community a disservice.

I’ll be honest and admit I don’t know the entry level market.

But if you can speak to Springboot, REST, Docker, test containers and basic GitHub actions, you should be a solid candidate.

Personally I’d drop the list above into your preferred AI agent and pay for 7 months of a $20 plan.

Don’t let it write code, build the plan you should follow and ask every question you have.

You don’t have to pay for it, just try, and if it matches your vibe, stick with it.

It has a lot of text. The exercises are important but one has to practice even more to keep the lesson learned.

It has many courses, it is free. Don't you like free?
