Is this a good learning path to follow?

https://javaspecialists.teachable.com/p/data-structures This course goes through java.util.** and teaches them all. I was just curious whether the topic list he has is a good thing to go through? Wise way to spend time learniing something new? (Its way too expensive, so its not about whether the course is worth buying, because I wont, but I want to use the list to learn)

at lot of the stuff on that list is probably something you'll never actually use. It might be a good to get an idea about what are they used for but I doubt it will mean much. I would focus more on the basic Collections and Map classes and become really familiar with those data structures as they are universal and seen across languages.

Just curious what the basic Collection is considered to be, if its not all of what is available in java.util.** I rather focus on what is beneficial and more used rather than obscure things like you say this huge list is so it will be helpful to find a good overview of what is nice to know no need to learn EVERYYTHING when most isn't used, and especially not in other languages :) right?

If you are looking for a Java course, consider https://java-programming.mooc.fi/ which is a free course on Java Programming from the University of Helsinki. When doing the course, it is recommended to use Eclipse or IntelliJ instead of NetBeans.

here is what I would choose out of that list: All of section 1 and 2 Sets TreeSet Hashing HashSet Maps HashMap TreeMap Hashtable Queues and Deques ArrayQueue BlockingQueue PriorityQueue java.util.Collections java.util.Arrays
