Java: Learn Java in One Day and Learn It Well. Java for Beginners with Hands-on Project. (Learn Coding Fast with Hands-On Project)

I’ve been a developer and architect for twenty-five years. Needed a decent and quick introduction to Java for a university study. True to its title, I finished the book in 24 hours and it was well written and had a good flow. Earlier examples were expanded upon quite logically which is rare for Kindle Unlimited books.

I do agree with what some people have said, that this book may not be for absolute beginners. But if you're familiar with programming and know other languages, this will get you up to speed with Java quickly. The way I used it is a good example. I bought this because I took a Java II college course, and it had been over year since I'd taken Java I. This book provided a good refresher to get me back up to speed for my Java II course, and in that respect it was perfect. The beauty of this "In One Day" series is that it's bare bones information with all the proverbial fat trimmed off. So it's great for what I used it for. Probably not so great if you've never programmed before. I've bought several of the books in this series to refresh and reinforce my studies of different program language, for which the textbooks are often confusing and unnecessarily self-important.

Not 5 stars because download process required youtube, also in the project some error happened and didnt happen in vscode weird. Overall great quality book coupled with a couple youtube videos on the advanced topic you will learn java well. The project helped solidiy many examples. More like learn java in one week. Also many advanced words were thrown in beginning chapters which make it seem like this book would be a bit confusing for a complete beginner. This book was perfect for me a beginner-intermediate python programmer.

Wow - this one is an absolute must for anyone starting out in Java. Though no nonsense - and not much on illustrations/pictures (something I usually shy away from - especially a teaching aid) - this author is absolutely on fire with a concise, well laid out method of leaning Java programming language. In use for teaching, this book will definitely take more than one day (not sure how you could effectively learn this using this book in a single day). A more realistic approach would be use this book across 24 hours of instruction - and it could be used as a single standalone introductory course, or part of a course as written with the exercises. A masterful job in both writing and execution - highly recommended.

I have been programming in several languages for over 30 years. I tried this book. It is an excellent book and there might be people eho could read it, do the exercises and get a job. Maybe even pass a certification exam in Jave Programming. However, I don't know any of ghose people and expect that they are very few and far between. I had to study 2 semesters of Java programming at a university later and I would still not claim that I had mastered it. It is the hardest language in which I havd ever programmed. Don't be too hard on yourself if you feel unable to finsh yhis book with deep understanding after 24 hours of a week. I can see where it might serve as a good refresher for someone eho has been a Java expert in the past. However, it will almost always kick any newbie's @$$.

Newer versions of NetBeans exist than the one in the book, and there are differences, not insignificant. It is very difficult to follow his instructions to get everything to work correctly without going outside of his book. His initial example would be difficult for a beginner to get to run correctly. That being said, the book does have value. However, the early part could waste the reader a good deal of time. Some of the syntax on his coding examples seems to be dated. I found some changes necessary to be able to get good builds. I think most of the information in the book is basically good. However, it is time for a revision. Glad I only paid for the Kindle copy. My other concern is that the images in the Kindle edition cannot be enlarged using zoom methods. Some parts are too grainy to be made out even with a magnifier.

I am very picky about the quality of study resources that I use. That being said, I have found that this book is extremely well-written and easy to understand. While others may claim to provide the clearest and simplest explanations, this book actually does that! For someone who has never learned Java before, I was bez"H still able to easily understand the concepts. Kudos to Jamie Chan for this great book.

For $3 (kindle version) this book is a steal. Like any book (rather than say a bunch of scattered articles or blog pages) you're going to get a nicely synthesized set of information that guides you from top to bottom in a cohesive way. This book is particularly good for people who are already familiar with programming (especially scripting language folks like Python or Ruby) as it quickly gets you and up and running on Java in a matter of hours. The chapter on OOP is particularly great!

Misleading and clumsy

Excellent.

Surprisingly a really good book, I never new switch statements could be manipulated in other ways. I'm a senior software engineer and love my job. I was taught in C++, a fantastic language that I really enjoyed. Unfortunately I've had to move to java based systems (yay) I really learning new things so I can figure out where I can add value in my work, and this book helped me understand java's syntax. God created Java and then Mircosoft had taken Java and made it better i.e. C# But this book will make you better at the Java language, following this I would suggest Clean Code by Uncle Bob if you haven't read that yet either.

This book is good for people who have knowlege of some other programming language like C++, C#. This book provides the bird-eye view of entire Java language. The book is great for people who have some experienec of Java and want to review the Java. This book has 12 Chapters and the 12th Chapter is dedicated to Java Console Project which includes File Handling. Just buy the Book, you won't regret it.

I am only 30 pages through but I already like it. A great buy and read. I would definitely recommend it to novice Java learners.
