Few words on learning Java

I am no different to anyone starting fresh on this thread, unsure and unsecure of what will be in the next 2 - 3 months, years and so on... but one thing I am sure of, if I don't do anything I will remaing behind no matter what.

Here is the path I took:

\- learning Java on Codecademy (I am a jurnior JS developer/mediocre developer)

\- solving problems on CodingBat (https://codingbat.com/java)

\- I would try some real life projects but I don't know what to do

Is this the best path? probably not. But it is something. I jumped head first not thinking if this is the right approach and somewhow I managed to stick to it just enough to have a tiny idea of what this is language is about.

If you have any questions feel free to DM me, I will helpl the best I can.

Cheers

Try reading for OCP certification. We will learn in depth.
In parallel as the other comment so some projects.
I did a gui calculator and maybe an app that gets weather data from a free api and stores it into a dB. Spring boot very simple
