I recently found the need to teach myself Java. While the Java Docs and official Java tutorial seem to be decent, especially once you know what you’re doing and want to dig deeper, the “Baeldung articles” have been really useful as starting points as a survey of options available. Since this seemed like a pretty random website, I’ve been cautious and cross referencing everything I read. But I have to admit, it was pretty damn useful.

So unofficial tutorials do have their place in introducing design patterns or listing trade offs between different approaches. But I do agree the source of truth should still be the official docs.
