Javarush, is it still useful after 9.5 years?

For all the time, the number of JavaRush students has almost reached two million people. In addition to education, the resource has become a platform for the largest Java community in Runet, and for some time now, far beyond its borders. Now on JavaRush services you can study in Russian, Ukrainian, English, German, Polish, French and Chinese.

Learning process

The training begins with an introduction to what is happening, from the first minute the scenario will arouse the interest of most young neophytes.

The entire training course is divided into 4 blocks – quests: Java Syntax, Java Core, Java Multithreading and Java Collections. Each quest consists of 10 levels, and each level contains 10-15 lectures and 20-30 practical tasks.

For people who have problems with procrastination, there is a so-called “kick schedule”.

Also from the additional functionality, I will note the Tasks-games tab.

The idea is interesting to me. But I would like to draw attention to the main course. On simple examples, using the visual part (which is definitely better for perception), we are gradually immersed in the process. We are shown what classes, objects, variables are. Each block is reinforced by practice. Below I will lay out several examples of tasks, from different stages.

Unfortunately, the most interesting and tasty tasks are only available with a Premium subscription. Speaking of which, the subscription is not cheap.

So what do we end up with?

Javarush is a unique project that has no analogues (at least in the RU segment) free functionality is enough to learn the basics, lay the foundation. This project, first of all, is aimed exclusively at an audience that has never had anything to do with programming before, or who dream of changing their field of activity and do not know where to start. Of course, if you have financial resources, there will be even more sense, your path to the position of a Java developer will be very shortened, over time you can try to get an internship at Javarush, which lasts about 3 months. Since its inception, the project has continued to evolve. I wish you success in obtaining new knowledge, to everyone who read this piece of text to the end.

If interest persists, then it makes sense to read the O’Reilly book Learning Java by Cathy Sierra and Bertie Bates, then go to Gerber Schildt’s Java Complete Guide, after that you will begin to realize a lot, naturally books are best combined with constant practice , video tutorials.
