Where should I start, JAVA
So I just joined the intern in java. I knew very little basics like array,string, integers whatever,methods,gui .
But here it is a whole different world . Another fellow intern knows so much that I feel ashamed. We are taking same course and same semester yet the difference is sky and bottom. I feel so ashmed😭😭. Where do I start?? I feel like they will remove me cause I literally know nothing
If I have to start learning java to get to their position what should I learn ,where should I start.??
They talking about Crud operations, mapping,getter setter , controller, repository.
Someone please guide me where to start ,what to learn. I think I have 1 month before the boss comes to look how much I know and will decide whether to keep me or not. HELP😭😭

Bro, I have done paid courses, free tutorials, tried all.
At last I learned through Durga Sir Java. Just search the topic name + Durga Sir. That’s enough.
Only disadvantage is lectures are long, but worth the time.
I never understood idiots who suggest books. It never helped me personally.

Don’t compare yourself too much to the other intern. You’ve already found the gaps, which is useful. A focused month can cover a surprising amount of backend Java basics

Don't compare you with the other interns. Start with Java basics, then learn OOPs and spring boot. After that, focus on CURD, controller, repositories, and getter/setters. Spend a few hour everyday building a small project and you'll immprove a lot in match.

Maybe do this tutorial, is big but could help you train.
Every video or 2, do commit and push to give some use of git.

Don't compare your progress with your fellow intern. Start by strengthening Java basics, then learn OOP, collections, exception handling, and JDBC. After that, practice CRUD operations and understand how controllers, services, and repositories work in Spring Boot. Consistent daily practice will help you improve.

. It's a small company tho. 15 members I guess. It's a software development company. I am currently doing 5months of unpaid internship. But since I am literally at the bottom I guess it's fare

I don't think it's possible for you to come all the way here for the internship..it's not worth it. You should look near where you lice

Read a Java learning book. Or consume one of the millions of YouTube tutorials for a start. But also it would be best to understand what software development concepts mean.
