Java for dummies is still decent. the last version is updated to java 9, so it's good enough for starters.
there's also think java, an "open source book" criminally underrated

Hey @Duke, thanks for your comments, I have yet to read Java for dummies but thanks for the recommendation. Same with open source book, but I'll take a look. I thought I did mention that if you buy the book I'll get paid, anyway, make it more obvious now.
not just the books. Every single Udemy link has some analytics/tracking embedded from Rakuten Marketing.
If the readers are being monitored in some way beyond the scope of the article, they deserve to know.
Thanks for these recommendations.
I think Effective Java is a must read for most devs, not just Java people. It has a lot of good patterns and discussions which are applicable to many other languages.
I agree it's one of the best books for programmers.
I have Java 8 in action, it's an excellent book. Will try to buy some of the other books as well. If I am Java developer, does it make sense to learn other languages like Cotlin, Scala, Groovy etc.?
It makes sense to learn these JVM langauges, I started with Groovy because our build script using that and I wanted to use Spock. It's like another tool in your arsenal.
Ok. Thanks for your response. Will check these language options.
Nice list! Surprised there is no book on Clojure though.
Yeah, I didn't learn Clojure yet, only focused on Groovy and Scala and now spending time on Kotlin, If you have any, feel free to share.
I'm still learning Clojure from The Joy of Clojure by Michael Fogus and Chris Houser. It's a great book so far.
There are books I have never heard of before, excellent post.
Thank you @lucas .
thx i am going to check those out!
All the best, they are worth reading, no doubt about it.
This list is gold. Only solid stuff. Thank you OP.
