Hey, Ive been scrolling through for about an hour and I found a few resources on how to learn Java, but it'd like to know the best way that will be the most relevant and updated. If anybody could attach resources below I'd really appreciate it.

The official Oracle docs will always be the most up to date. They may not be the best for learning though.

If I'm being honest, a tutorial being "up-to-date" doesn't matter all too much when learning Java. It's been around for decades, and the basics are largely unchanged. This looks like a really good, all-round tutorial (free): www.udemy.com/course/java-tutorial/Windows is right, too, if you are ever struggling to understand something, Oracle has very in depth information available. It's probably going to be a little difficult to understand at first though, which is why I would recommend a guided tutorial like the one above, first. |

Don't listen to the peanut gallery here of people linking to documentation and tutorials for the purpose of learning a language.
The best way to truly learn a language is to just use it. Even if you don't know what you're doing whatsoever, just changing code in an application or something and playing with it is the absolute best way to learn. It immediately introduces you through practice to the trial of writing and testing code. This doesn't just apply to Java but to any language.

When I started coding Java, I was playing around with TFM because I was learning Bukkit as well. But eventually, I started using documentations to extend my knowledge further. (Still suck tho)

To add to this, you also need to try and avoid the bad tutorials made by people without enough experience. Those can drill bad habits in pretty fast. |

Besides all the answers above which are correct, It also depends on what you are going to do with this programming language. I would suggest learning the basics of Java and then proceeding to more advance stuff that got your attention. (Documentations are provided from others)
