I am currently taking Computer Science at Uni, I have just failed my programming class (I'm at 2nd semester). I have had much difficulty while trying to learn Java, and everything. I do not think I can afford on-line classes too. Does anyone have tips on what to do, where to start from? Some good content for me to follow and catch up on the basics?

I've tried to research Brazilian content on YouTube and they were not satisfying, btw.

I struggled a lot with trying to understand everything, from the basis of the structure, etc. If anyone has a breakdown that is not so hard to understand for a 16 IQ uni student, I'd appreciate it a lot.

You should not have applied to study computer science in the first place.

They teach shit at uni/college, the best way to progress in learning programming is to teach yourself how to write code. There is no specific language to advice for starters it depends on trying each language and sticking with the one which makes you comfortable and you feel like learning something.

Personally I spent 6 months + on python writing various codes on different topics mostly encryption algorithms, cryptography, windows internals, syscalls and everything and how windows works.

Then tried switching to a compiled/static build language, there was thoughts on Rust but I preferably went to Go lang. Now I've got my grip on Go, every other language seems very comfortable.

Easy to understand and write. Such as C#, Rust, Dlang.

~ peace out.

I have just one advice. If you want to learn coding the key is practice, practice and more practice. Some theory is also important of course. If you really want to study computer science be prepared to work hard and invest much time and effort.
Coding is actually absolutely essential and mostly a self study thing. There are so many resources in the internet.

First, talk with your professor and TA for help. Next, read books, websites and youtube vidoes. Spend a great amount of time on this especially if you are having a hard time. Give it one more semester. If you are still having problems, then computer sicence is probably not for you. ANd that' not necessarily a bad thing. I knew several students in my incoming freshman computer science who struggled and realized it was not for them, so they transferred to either a math or engineering degree.

I mean i learned coding from a 12 years Pakistani on Youtube.

You will need to start with a programming language you are comfortable coding in first. If Java doesnt work, I suggest Python or Ruby, so try these two out and see if you can manage to code in them. You can easily find free courses on Coursera https://www.coursera.org/learn/python-basics or in other websites: https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/wiki/index/

Just try out as many courses as possible, to see if you can find one that you can stick to. After a while you probably can understand more abstract concepts your university course is teaching., then you can ask your lecturer or TA for help.

Honestly there's enough Youtube tutorials for programming that you can get pretty well acquainted with most languages.

First read a book title: How programmers Think.
