Non CS graduate here, funny how my learning curve has been basically what y'all are saying.
I had one java class before I officially kick started my programming career by wiping windows off my laptop and installing ubuntu. Then proceeded to force myself to do everything from the command line, not that there were many other options. It escalated quickly from there.
Starting from the terminal is much more intuitive than writing 'int main/ public static void main' in an IDE.
