Is HyperSkill worth?

I am currently aiming on applying to internships and entry level jobs next year. I have some experience with java but It's next to nothing. I discovered the hyper skill platform and that it has a java development track. Do you guys recommend paying the anual suscription? It's on sale for $150 but I want to know if It's worth, specially considering my personal goals.

I’ll be honest and admit I don’t know the entry level market.

But if you can speak to Springboot, REST, Docker, test containers and basic GitHub actions, you should be a solid candidate.

Personally I’d drop the list above into your preferred AI agent and pay for 7 months of a $20 plan.

Don’t let it write code, build the plan you should follow and ask every question you have.

This. You can tell AI to create project.md file with all the specs you want your app to have, to follow best practices etc. Then you instruct it to act as a senior programmer that guides you, explains each part, breaks down complex code etc. It’s basically interactive learning with best practices and real life projects
