Hello,

I have taken the full Java course at [DELETED].com, I'm not sure how to continue learning.

If you have any legit methods; books, video-tutorials, ..., etc, please, be kind enough to provide me with them along side with some sources.

Thank you!

What I have tried:

I just finished the course, and, I tried nothing afterwards.

Please don't promote sites via links: it looks like spam and that can get you banned from the site.
I have removed the site references (they aren't important to your question anyway) to avoid you getting tagged by someone slightly more trigger happy than I.

When answering a question please:

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.

Practice.
If the course was any good, and you followed it properly, doing all the exercises as you went, you should have a fairly solid grounding in the language, and further tutorials won't really be of much use.

Instead, practice, practice, practice.
Find a app you like and write your own version. Then write it again, but better, learning from your mistakes the first time.
Then find another app, and write a better one!
Experience is what makes you better once you have the basics, and there is absolutely no way to acquire that without practice, and lots of it.

Take a look at The Java™ Tutorials[^], it covers the basics and much more.

Knowing a language is nice, but you need to huge background to become a professional programmer and you forgot to tell what is yours.

My guess is that you are learning programming.
You need to master a set of techniques that are the basis of the job and are not linked to a language.

Advices:
- Read documentation / Follow tutorials (a lot of them)
- Start with tiny/useless projects, the purpose is to learn programming, not doing something useful.
- Start with console mode programs (no fancy graphics, no mouse)
- Learn debugger
Debugger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[^]
Mastering Debugging in Visual Studio 2010 - A Beginner's Guide[^]
- A problem ? Google is your friend.
- Learn Algorithms and Data-Structures.
- Learn Boole algebra
- Learn one or more analyze methods, E.W. Djikstra top-Down method is a good start.

- Learn SQL
- Learn Databases design and Administration

There is no shortcut to knowledge, no one can learn for you, you are the only one that can do it.
Remember the exercises and little projects are not here to make something useful, they are here to teach you programming.
