Any tips for wannabe programmer? I've learned java basics and feel quite comfortable with them. Unable to write any projects though. I think reading and trying to understand some different medium sized projects source code could help. Do you know where I could find such a thing?

Github.com has got you covered, personal recommendation is Vanilla Music Player(Android)

@IwraStudios on second thought vanilla music player isn't medium sized (depends on who you ask) but still GitHub got you covered

Go to github and search “language:java” without quotes. You’ll find plenty of projects.

* Github
* Codepen.io for web projects

I'm the lead developer of Exitcode. An Open-Source Desktop (and to-be hacking) Simulator Game. (if you want to take a peak, check out my profile)

The best advice I can give you, (and this is exactly how I learned Java, Python, Lua, HTML, and CSS) is to get a basic idea of something you want to do, and one step at a time, google code for each task. After a short while you'll have a good grasp on that language and you wont need that crutch any longer.

In my own opinion, this is the best was to learn because you imedently apply what you're learning, instead of following a class and taking notes on code that you "might" use.
