If you want to learn JAVA in depth then I would suggest go for the book, "The complete Reference to Java." https://www.amazon.in/Java-Complete-Reference-Herbert-Schildt/dp/9339212096?tag=googinhydr18418-21

This is the link to the book in Amazon. Try to buy the lastest edition. I have read this and I think this is the bible for Java both for experienced or new programmers.

u/lancelafontaine · 1 pointr/java

If you're looking to only learn Java as a language, I would also recommend Absolute Java (http://www.amazon.com/Absolute-Java-Student-Value-Edition/dp/0132834235). It is a bit pricey, but you can probably find a used 4th edition for a quarter of price, and it is very thorough/complete. However, it will most likely overlap a lot with the book you already have (but it's nonetheless a book suggestion).

u/Camo341 · 2 pointsr/LGBTeens

This Java book. A doge shirt. Maybe Luigi's Mansion dark moon, but I think I'll only get the first two.

u/monsieurlazarus · 1 pointr/learnjava

Does the bookstore sell this book from the same author. I prefer this for beginners course. It covers java 8 lambdas and stream.

u/Yorshelf · 3 pointsr/learnjava

Big java early objects by Cay horstmann.
His explanations are so good & simple + he links the language with computer science subjects (the book is supposed to be a first semester intro to CS)

u/DeadeyeDuncan · 1 pointr/unitedkingdom

Tried to learn Java from a book I've had lying around for a while this weekend. Christ is it dense:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Java-Tutorial-Short-Course-Basics/dp/0134034082/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1449479698&sr=1-2&keywords=java+a+short+course

Got about 100 pages in (of 700), a few interesting examples would be nice...

u/KuroSaru · 2 pointsr/bigdata

All good books, but id recommend getting the In Action series of books

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hadoop-Action-Chuck-Lam/dp/1935182196

Just a little sad at the lack of a book on HBase in your collection :(!

u/ejmtz95 · 1 pointr/IBO

Honestly I don't have any online resources, only the physical books Amazon link. This will help you for paper 2 mostly, another book that we had was this one and finally for paper 3 you just read the case study and learn by heart the definitions.

This will not be encouraging but it is a reality, the exam is hard and it is very likely to be hard. Don't freak out if you leave pages in blank in either papers because in the end you will be able to pass it, I got fucked in paper 2 and managed to get a 4 overall. If you want a higher grade then you will need to practice your pseudo code and your theory definitions a lot.

u/MR_Coder · 1 pointr/learnjava

I looked this up and found it on amazon...holy fuck, sticker shock.

Never went to traditional college so never had to buy a textbook, for a self learner...is it worth it?

Anything else out there you'd recommend?

Edit: I think I was looking at the wrong thing, what I was looking at includes some course content...

Ich habe leider keine konkreten Job-Angebote für dich, aber ein paar vielleicht brauchbare Tipps.

Falls du die Seite noch nicht kennst, auf http://unijobs.at habe ich bisher zwei meiner drei bisherigen Jobs gefunden. Vielleicht wirst du auch fündig. Einmal habe ich einen Job als Promoter für Fernseher gefunden, und ein paar Jahre später nachdem ich zwischenzeitig als Software-Entwickler angefangen habe, habe ich einen weiteren (meinen aktuellen) Job gefunden - ebenfalls in der Software-Entwicklung, nur wesentlich interessanter als der vorherige.

Ansonsten wird es nur mit AHS-Matura schwierig einen interessanten Job zu finden, vor allem in der IT-Branche. Ich habe auch eine AHS-Matura gemacht und im Gegensatz zu dir, gleich mein Informatik-Studium an der TU angefangen, aber ich habe bemerkt, wie groß die Konkurrenz von den HTLs ist. Nach 6 Semestern Studium habe ich dann endlich meinen ersten Job in der IT-Branche gefunden - davor war ich wie gesagt nur Promoter.

Ich lege es dir sehr nahe dem zu folgen, was dich am meisten interessiert. Fang ein Studium an. Es ist spaßiger jetzt etwas Interessantes zu studieren und später in einem interessanten Job zu arbeiten, als jetzt irgendetwas zu arbeiten und später zu studieren, während man das Leben finanzieren muss, das man sich aufgebaut hat.

Speziell für Software-Entwicklung bzw. Informatik kann ich dir außerdem noch ein paar Tipps geben, was wichtig ist:

  • Schau dir erstmal http://codecademy.com an, um warm zu werden.
  • Freunde dich mit Mathematik und Englisch an, ansonsten wird dir das IT-Leben schwer fallen.
  • Lerne irgendeine Programmiersprache und beherrsche diese gut. Java ist recht gefragt und gut zum Lernen verschiedener Konzepte geeignet. Ich habe damals dieses Buch verwendet, aber es gibt bestimmte aktuellere.
  • Verstehe Datenbanken und SQL.
  • Verstehe Linux und die Kommandozeile.
  • Lerne mit einer Entwicklungsumgebung (IDE) zu arbeiten. Für Java ist Eclipse geeignet.
  • Lerne Versionierungs-Systeme kennen. Vor allem git.
  • Lerne ein paar Konzepte, wie Objektorientierte Programmierung, Sortier-Algorithmen, Multithreading, ...
  • Optional: Habe ein Spezialgebiet. Computergraphik (z.B. OpenGL, WebGL), Web (z.B. NodeJS, AngularJS, REST), Mobile (Android, iOS), ...
  • ... und lerne, dass Software-Entwicklung zu 80% daraus besteht, Sachen auf http://stackoverflow.com nachzusehen.

    Wenn du das beherrschst, kann ich dir einen Job garantieren. Wenn dich das interessiert, kann ich dir auch mehr Tipps geben und Fragen beantworten. Und falls dich das abschreckt, dann habe ich dich vielleicht vor einem Fehler bewahrt, was ja auch okay ist ... ;)
