I am thinking about joining either Lynda or Treehouse to sharpen my coding skills. I was wondering (since they're both paid services) if anyone has any feedback or experience with either of the two. I am also open to new suggestions, too.
thanks
I would try to use as many freely available resources as possible first. Here is a list of free books.

Also Coursera and other MOOC's can be a great resource.
Personally I've used Treehouse and it helped me somewhat but is too expensive in my opinion.

what is recommended in competitive programming defining classes or using the java libraries?eg.stack or linked lists.Does performance of code depends on it?
Normally you don't need to write your own classes for saving and managing some objects in a list.
I recommend you not to invent the wheel again.
Except you do it for a learning purpose.
The problem with writing your own classes for critical operations is that you can't do it better than a team of some pretty smart heads. Neither do I.

I want to create a bot for plug.dj.
All this bot would do is type something in the chat every 5 minutes.
I was wondering which language I should use.
I am pretty good at Java.
And how would I make it?
Can some one link an example?
Thank you very much. Sorry if I am asking for much, I just need to get started with this thing.
You could use Node.js with PlugAPI - their documentation is very good and has some examples. Pretty sure this would be the easiest way to do it, don't know of any Plug libraries in Java.

I recently went for an interview and was requested to submit an example of my production code.
Submitted the code complete with javadocs, but was questioned by the interviewer about my choice of it.
I find javadocs quite useful for understanding code by others and it's really not that much of a legibility issue if I'm using an IDE. Can someone enlighten me on why it may not be recommended and what would be a better alternative in said situation?
Javadocs are not evil, and for Java it's the best you can do to properly document your code.
Being questioned does not mean automatically that what you've done is evil. Questions are mostly to test if you're sure in what you do and if you know more about it or you just made a guess.

I am also interested to learn .net so which choice is better to learn .net or continue with just java platform? give me your suggestions.
Learning is always a good thing. There is no such thing as the one language to rule them all.

I am a beginner Java developer and although I tried searching I have yet to find any good books for learning java programming. I am good enough at the basics that I don't need a 'for dummies' book, but I was wondering if anyone has seen a really useful/well written book/website about Java programming. Specifically I would like things to do with GUI or Server/Client communication or Java coding tips.
If this question has already been asked I am sorry, I tried searching but couldn't find what I wanted... Please give me a link to the question instead of downvoting! Thanks
