I'm preparing for a Java programming exam in two months, and I'm really struggling with the syntax. Can anyone share effective strategies or resources to help me learn and get ready for it?

If you already know a language like Python, start with something simple like printing 'Hello, World' in Java. Then, join Advent of Code, choose a year, and solve problems using Java. It’s the best way to learn by doing—you'll need to look up syntax and libraries, which is part of the learning process!
Check out the MOOC "Java Programming" from the University of Helsinki. It's a great structured course and will definitely help you get a good grasp on the basics.
I found that using FreeCodeCamp is super helpful! Try going through each task hands-on; it'll help you engage actively with the material. Don't lose hope, just keep pushing through!
I know Python, but the Java syntax is overwhelming. I can't believe how much I have to write for simple tasks!
