Roadmap of the articles

There is not a specific road map to follow, the articles in WikiJava are unsorted and don't always have links to the next steps. We leave you a complete freedom to follow your preferred path. Though too much freedom without a guide may make you feel lost.

If you don't know where you want to go you always end up somewhere else

Here you are some hints about the path to follow for your training. We recommend you to start by testing the structures of the language and then to understand better the Input and Output mechanisms. Another important topic related to the Java language is to have a solid understanding of the Object Oriented concepts, which could be the third aspect you want to study.

After this you will have a good basis and will be ready for almost all the articles in this category.

Complete your Java knowledge: choose the articles in the list below.
