Java is a great language to start out with and I would recommend two books to get you running. Since you are new to the language and programming in general, start with Head First Java. Then, move on to a more advanced treatment like Core Java. Thinking in Java is also very good but it's dense and some people have a difficult time digesting it.

Once you have the basics of the language down, learn about working with databases. Then, move on to server-side development as that's where the jobs are.

Despite the similarity of their names, Java and JavaScript are not similar and cannot be used interchangeably. JavaScript is primarily used in UI development in web browsers, although server-side implementations have existed for almost as long as JavaScript itself. Currently, the most fashionable of these implementations is node.js.

Lastly, since you are looking to work professionally but without any formal education, know that you are going to have a difficult time getting work for the first several years. You might find that learning JavaScript (and HTML and CSS) are a quicker route to finding a job as front-end web developers often do not require a college degree, whereas Java programming jobs invariably do.

Core Java is another great book. It's really in depth and beginner friendly, and comes with lots of example code / programs. I've been working my way through it and love it. No fluff, just the information that's needed. I come from a Python background, but I'd also recommend it to a beginner with no previous programming experience.

I'm only about 6 chapters into volume 1, but I'm really enjoying Core Java by Cay Horstman and Gary Cornell. It assumes previous programming knowledge. My only issue with it so far is that there are no exercises to work through.

I also hear Thinking in Java is the defacto standard on how to learn it though, but I don't know if it assumes previous programming knowledge or not.

I started with C++ so the C++ comparisons throughout are helpful to me.

If you're interested in Core Java:

Volume I - http://www.amazon.com/Core-Volume-I-Fundamentals-Edition-Series/dp/0137081898/ref=dp_ob_title_bk

Volume II - http://www.amazon.com/Volume-II-Advanced-Features-Edition-Series/dp/013708160X/ref=pd_sim_b_1

I used Core Java Vol 1 9th edition by Cay Horstmann: http://www.amazon.com/Core-Java-I--Fundamentals-9th/dp/0137081898/

I thought it was pretty good as a beginner. Chapters 3 to 6 are especially useful and good.

to further the conversation on the forum and offer some assistance to everyone out there.

  • Java is indeed a primary component of Android Studio along with XML for formatting and defining actions.

  • Android is unique from java in that you must declare every action you are going to take in the XML file before it can be recognized/run.

  • Java may be a primary language however C and C+ can be used as well (there may be more however this is information learned on passing not actively sought out)

    If you do have a beginner textbooks worth of knowledge on Java then I would recommend starting with Android Application Fundamentals
    and familiarize yourself with the content or use this as a reference.

    if you are new to programming and you want to get started with learning Java then I would recommend (again) Head First: Java 2nd edition, this book is very good if you want a k-12 approach in that it isn't word heavy and it makes you find the solution more often than not.
    if you do love word heavy content and love taking notes then I would recommend: Core Java Volume I--Fundamentals (9th Edition)

    free pdf versions of both books can be found so please do not limit yourself.

    Thank you for taking the time to read and please Never stop moving forward.

You can also check out the Java tutorials and the Java EE tutorials, but these might be a little on the light side compared to books devoted to the topic.

The Core Java Volume I and Core Java Volume II by Cay Horstmann are the best books I've read for learning Java. Some people like the Head First series.

Effective Java is a must read.

I would go with Java, and Swift appears to be the future of iOS development anyway. Since you're not a beginner I suggest Core Java, both volumes.

u/GreyDeck · 1 pointr/java

I liked Core Java vols. I and II, but it's a little expensive and only 12th in Amazon's list of java books. Head First is number one.
