I LEARNT JAVA ☕

I did this! I did this! I officially learnt java guys. SO yeah, today I woke with one little target that is to make a simple clicker GUI application using java without pasting code at least one single time.

Disclaimer: I can see tutorials

First of all, I searched for the best java IDE. I know I could have used vs code, but you know what's the point of using same editor🤪. But yeah, here is the truth: I want to try something new. I had a bunch of options like BlueJ and Eclipse but for some reason felt like a more modern choice would be better, so I installed jet brains toolkit and then got IntelliJ idea.

More on the editor in the end. Next, I found this fantastic tutorial for beginners which was just 2 hours 💀.

I sat on and learnt all the basics. I was comfortable with that just because I know JavaScript already. It was pretty easy. But God, you don't know how many times I have forgot that mischievous little semicolon. I was struggling a lot

java: ';' expected

After some time I thought I was ready and cought on with another tutorial and then after lots and lots of work I did this

Now I can check out learning java from my bucket list because yeah ladies and gentlemen your boy knows how to code in java. Tell me if I should make a full on todo app with java so that I can suffer more with this awesome programming language. BTW, if you want to learn java use intelliJ, It was really awesome guys. Thanks for all 7K followers. Peace ✌
