Discover the 3 greatest challenges facing new programmers when it comes to learning Java.

Hi there,

For new Java programmers, when it comes to making progress, there can be many challenges.

I’m conducting a survey about new Java programmers and their challenges for my upcoming MasterClass project.

I would love to get your insight and I invite the new Java programmers in this group to participate.

Your feedback will be making an important contribution to this topic and I’ll be sharing the top challenges with you, along with specific resources to address those challenges directly, once the survey is completed.

The survey takes less than 2 minutes and you can get started now by going to this link: [------]

I look forward to sharing these insights and resources with you.

With thanks, Sten
