If you are new to programming or have least experience with programming then I would recommend you to watch following java training videos first before embarking on learning Selenium.
If you are well versed with java programming language then you can directly move to selenium webdriver training videos

 
Following java training videos are tailored for selenium but they can also be used to learn java (or at least core java in general). The Java projects used in the video tutorials are available on GitHub at javatutorial and on seleniumtests_with_java.

Please don't use these programs to write selenium tests as selenium tests require a robust framework. Once you are skilled at java then may like to try Selenium Tests Automation Framework to write your selenium tests in java.

So bookmark this page to keep track of new videos :-)

So here we go -

Training Video Content	Training Videos

Intro to java 8 and selenium using java 8 This session covers -   Why is java 8 so popular? I do not java yet : -/ What is FunctionalInterface? Functional programming and Lambda Interface having method with no argument Interface having method with one argument What if AnimalHavingMethodArgument has two abstract methods? And what next? > Future training videos sneak peak using java 8 and selenium?

Java 8 part 2: Stream filter operations and Selenium WebDriver This session covers - List operations in java 8 Using stream with List Filter stream FindFirst Intro to method references Intermediate operations (i.e. filter, map) Terminal operation (forEach, findFirst, reduce, collect) WebDriver and list examples using java 8

Java 8 part 3: Stream map operations and Selenium WebDriver This session covers - Some more gran on lambda Intro. to Stream > map api (Forget about Map api for now :)) How lambda returns a value? Using predicate static variable and method references WebDriver and map examples using java 8 Debugging map operation on data point

Java 8 part 4: Optional and Selenium WebDriver This session covers - Java 8 part 4: Optional and Selenium WebDriver (yes learning Optional is not optional :)) Why Optional > What happen when data is null Optional > an object which may or may not contain non null values (some prefer to call it empty value) Do you remember where we used Optional?  :) com.seleniumtests.java8.ListExamples class > findFirst() Creating Optional using - of, ofNullable, orElse   WebDriver examples with Optional >     Default locale Testing with different data sets i.e. lower and upper case

Java 8 part 5: IntStream, sum, avg, reduce, file reading operations and SeleniumWebDriver This session covers - Method implementation on interface with java 8 - static and default methods, wtf?? IntStream.range() More Stream operations -     sum, sort, average And how do I add double numbers? Reading from file Collectors.toMap  Where are the WebDriver examples??
