Hey everyone! I'm currently studying computer science with a focus on Java, and I'm looking for the best websites or resources where I can practice coding and improve my skills. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

LeetCode is a popular choice! A lot of folks use it to prepare for coding interviews. It can be a bit frustrating since many companies lean on those LeetCode-style tests, but for practice, it's really effective. Just keep in mind it's not the only way to learn.
Check out HackerRank for a broader range of languages than LeetCode, or try Screeps if you’re into a coding game experience. Building simple games like a Pac-Man or Snake clone can be a fun way to learn too!
Thanks! I hadn’t heard of HackerRank before. I’ll look into it since I’m focused on Java!
You might want to skip the online sites and just dive into building projects! Download an IDE like IntelliJ, come up with a project idea that excites you, and start coding. It’ll give you hands-on experience that's way more enriching.
Great suggestion! I have Visual Studio, so I’ll definitely give it a try.
The best method to get better is by creating your own projects. Don't stress about perfection; just start something and build it! Also, if you want to get into specific coding challenges, give Codewars a try!
Awesome! I’ll definitely check out Codewars as well. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the recommendation! I just made an account on LeetCode and will start practicing there.
