About Christos
I started exploring computer science and software engineering at a very young age (8 years old), making scripts in a language called PAWN that looks like the programming language C. I started learning Java some years later because I wanted to make plugins for Minecraft servers after a friend wanted some for his private server at the time. I wrote a lot of code - terrible code. But that’s how I learned to write better code. I figured out that pairing Git (and GitHub) alongside Java helped me version control my code and have what I like to call a journal for code changes that I make, justifying each change to ensure quality. Of course, Minecraft wouldn’t cut it, so I started making open source contributions. I am now a community ambassador in a massive Java community called Together Java with over 40k community members. In the community, we have a Java project called TJ-Bot, which is there as an opportunity for Java learners to contribute. By contributing, you get absolutely free feedback on code practices. This allows you to not only learn Java, but also write good Java. It also allows you to get familiar with Git. In my free time, I motivate people to start learning Java & Git, provide them guidance, and even host some public lessons on both subjects, as I find both very important.

I am of the opinion that a lot of instructors and resources teaching Java & git (as well as resources in other fields) prioritize explaining the surface concepts to get the learner to “write code” and get started as soon as possible so that they don’t feel like they’re wasting their time, which is fun in the short term – but over time, the students realize that there’s more in the core that they haven’t explored yet.
I focus on teaching the core concepts first, making sure that you understand them first before going to the fancy stuff.
Sure, that sounds boring, but in the long term, you will be happy that you went that route.
I mean, look at the amount of people who learn git for example but entirely skip commit message etiquette, leading to some very questionable and ambiguous commits that make it in real projects.
Don’t be that person. Sacrifice short-term fun for proper knowledge on a subject.
