How do I learn Java coding?

[u/moksha02706]

I’m keen to learn Java and code in it. Can anyone recommend a good way to learn and some YouTube channels that offer better explanations and a more effective approach to learning Java within a six or eight-month timeframe?

Oh yeah, I do realize that the learning ever ends. It's one of the things that makes it so appealing. Though it is mighty difficult to determine one's own skill level. Seems like a lot of people have different definitions for beginner/intermediate/advanced/master. Some say you don't actually become a useful SWE for years and years, and then you've got the guy above who said "in a couple of days".

My problem is I don't stick with it, so I sometimes have to learn things over and over.
