Hi guys, I won't write so much because I'm still an english student and I'm not very good yet, so I'm sorry for any mistakes.

I'm Brazilian, from Rio de Janeiro, 25 yo, Systems of Information student, love everything about technology. During my free time I like playing League of Legends and The Sims 👩‍💻

I'm here because next day 16 I'll start as a Java developer intern, so I'm a little bit nervous and anxious, because I know very little about Java, so my future manager sent me this link dev.to/yusufcodes/what-i-learned-f... and I thought the purpouse of this site just amazing, and wanted to join it 😁. As well I think it will be good to practice english reading 😄

Hi Elen! Is this your first job? It's totally normal to be nervous but it's great you'll be getting experience working in a company.

I would recommend this course on Codecademy for learning Java and you'll probably find other free tutorials for the language. Java was one of the first languages I learned in school (although I don't use it now).

Dev is a really great site, I spend at least a few min each day going through the feed.

By the way, your English is great. 👍

Hey Dana, thank you so much! I didn't know this site, saved it here to take a look later. This is not my first job, actually I already worked a lot in my life in secular jobs, but this is the first one in my study area, with a real programming language, and I'm afraid of seem ... You know , dumb or idiot. Like "You already should know something"... But it's just my anxiety speaking, I know that. My future coworkers seem great, I got no reason for think these things, but sometimes it's inevitable.

For now I'm studying Objects Oriented in Java on Coursera, and "Curso em Video", a brazilian site with a fantastic professor.

And thanks again, you're an angel. I take almost a year to write a small text in English 😂😂
