Taking computer science starting in school next year, and we're going to be learning Java. I heard that this CS class is especially difficult and wish to get a head start.
Best free ways to learn Java? I've tried codeacademy but didn't like it too much

Not trying to be cocky, but I am a very skilled Java programmer. I will teach you the basics of Java, and even some advanced things about Java. If you set a chatroom up for us to communicate, I will gladly help you learn. Reply to this message if you're interested. Smile

Everyone's competency differs to some degree, hence a given resource may not be suited to their level of learning.

It's best to view a few resources, and select one based on your ability to grasp the Information at hand.
Here's a few to choose from:

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/
https://www.udemy.com/java-tutorial/
https://beginnersbook.com/java-tutorial-...-examples/
http://www.learnjavaonline.org/

I recommend the second link, which Is a free course and Includes 16 hours of on-demand video.

I remember when I first took a Java course. The entire OOP concept was not what I expected coming from a procedural language like C so that completely threw me off. If there's one thing I can advise, it's that you need to get that idea in your head. You should be designing your program with respect to object orientation like what objects are responsible for what things and which objects relate and are supposed to relate to each other.
