Exercises to improve my Java programming skills

Question

I have learned basics of Java but want to practice more  I was looking via Google and couldn t find many beginner level problems that I can solve using Java    Any suggestions

User · Answer

You could try the problems at RosettaCode  many of which lack Java solutions at the moment  The problems are of many different difficulties  but each has a solution already in another language which should help with the algorithmic side

My recommendation is to solve problems that you re interested in  writing code that might be useful to you   Java is a huge box   It s got a lot of computer science inside  graphics  scientific computing  relational databases  user interfaces for desktop and web  messaging and queuing  multi-threading  security  and more   Each area has their own  beginner problem    Which one do you mean   How do you define  beginner problem    Maybe you re having trouble because you aren t narrowing your search enough     If your imagination is lacking  your best bet is to Google something like  java beginner practice problems  and investigate what you get back   Or start with Sun s on-line Java tutorial and work you way all the way through it   You ll know a fair amount about Java when you re done

If you wanted to learn some GUI  may be tic tac toe is good  Even for console  I still find that is a fun problem  Not challenging but a little bit fun  Later you can advance some other games or port that game to GUI  client server or java applet for the web  I think if you want to learn something and get fun as well  game is a good choice

I recommend reading through the Sun s tutorials for code examples and practice in all areas of Java programming  especially the areas you wish to improve in   Depending on how much of beginner examples you were looking for  check out CodingBat for some good beginner exercises  Project Euler is another good site  but depending on your skill level now  this may be too much  but it s worth trying anyways   Most importantly  Its also worth noting that personal projects are a great way to start to learn a new language  I would also recommend starting a project that is benefical to you and get cracking right away  no time is better than the present
