Java Tutorial is a useful resource to get to grips with the syntax.

There’s the official documentation and tutorials Java Platform, Standard Edition Documentation - Releases & Java Developer Tutorials and Online Training

Codecademy has some free resources for Java Java Courses & Tutorials | Codecademy

One good way to really learn a language is to set yourself up a project, some problem you want to solve with code, and see how far you get. You may not get very far at all at first, but that’s where you start to research how something specific is achieved. You then learn practically as you go. It also gets you used to getting stuck and having to research solutions, which will continue to happen throughout your coding life. You can pick a simple project at first if you prefer, to help build your confidence, then move on to something more complicated.

Don’t lose hope. Coding can be difficult and frustrating at times, but if you can learn to solve the problems it throws at you it’s also very fulfilling.

Best of luck!

I echo @kinofrost 's idea to try out a project yourself, to get to know the language a bit.

Another site I always find useful for tutorials on Java fundamentals, as well as specific libraries is Baeldung

It depends on what is your goal?

  • Is it to improve Java coding?
  • Is it to improve automation with Java?

If it is Java coding - try Leetcode, HackerRank, Codewars. Next step would be a project-based learning.

If it is automation - find a website or free API and try to write automated tests for it. Upload it to Github, add CI with Github Actions. Add reporting and parallel runs. As a result - you will got a show case project.
