​Hi everyone,

​About six months ago, I finished learning Java, but I didn't practice much. Now, I’ve decided to start over from scratch to build a solid foundation. To level up, I started working on a "Student Management System" project (adding/deleting students, etc.) alongside my regular study and problem-solving practice.

​My question is about how I use AI. For example:

I created the variables for my class, but then I got stuck. I asked AI for the next step, and it suggested creating a constructor. I only remembered that a constructor must have the same name as the class, so the AI reminded me of its purpose and how to use it to initialize objects in the main method.

​So, am I on the right track by using AI as a "mentor" to remind me of concepts while building projects, or am I heading down the wrong path? I really want to make sure I’m actually learning

​Hey everyone,

​I’m currently learning Java with the goal of becoming a Backend Developer. I'm hitting a few roadblocks and would love some guidance from the experienced folks here:

1- ​The "Right" Path: What is the most effective way to learn Java specifically for backend development? What should I focus on first (Fundamentals, OOP, Spring Boot, etc.)?

2- ​Handling Getting Stuck: Sometimes I face a problem—even a simple one—and my mind just goes completely blank. I have no idea how to approach it. What is the professional way to handle this? How do you guys troubleshoot when you're stuck?

3- ​Building Projects: I want to start building small projects on my own to practice, but I don't know where to start or how to structure my practice. Any advice on how to move from tutorials to building independently?

Note: I'm currently taking a course on Udemy. I have already finished the fundamentals (variables, loops, conditions, etc.) and I'm just about to dive into Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

​I’d really appreciate any tips, resources, or "rules of thumb" you follow. Thanks in advance

Hello,

I’ve just finished learning the basics of Java:

- Data types & variables

- Operators

- Input / Output

- If / Else & Switch

- Loops (for, while, do-while)

- Methods (functions)

- Strings

Now I want to build a small project for practice on my own.

Do you think using ChatGPT to help me is a good idea, or not the best approach?
