How to proceed to understand java easier?

Question

Java

Good afternoon, starting from Monday I decided to take up programming, I started reading various books a la head first and so on. I read a couple of books about creating websites and realized that I don’t want to do it and my soul lies more in programming. I read Eckel, Fine and head first in Java, but I just can't understand the syntax of the language and, in general, all programming. I read on Habré, many recommend learning C # first and only then java and so on. In other words, advise how to start learning programming if I am an absolute zero in this, I am engaged in self-study, nevertheless I don’t want to quit, but I understand that without mastering the basics, I am in some kind of stagnation.

Set a goal for yourself to make some specific application that will solve your specific problem. And do it. Accept the idea that the first three months will be a complete stupor.
For a general understanding of programming, you can read "Glocking Algorithms", and other books by this author.

Then when you understand the basics, then you can start your study project.

Answer 3

Learn courses on youtube

Answer 4

Look at courses on Java / C # (as for me, it doesn’t matter), algorithms and data structures, etc. on Intuit, for example. There are also courses from the mail group. Academic and systematic is what you need at some stage. It will be hard to move forward without a technical base...
