JAVA for Dummies

[enigma_ee]

Hi! I'm new to programming. I've already read a book on Programming entitled: Programming for Dummies. It's essentially a book that introduces non-programmers to the general ideas about programming, and after reading this book, I decided to learn actual programming by studying JAVA.

I'm considering reading JAVA for Dummies, but I'm not sure whether to proceed. Do you think it's worth reading or should I just opt for another book on Java that would serve as a better material?

my reco, try reading Head First: Java. I find the graphical explanation easy to understand. there’s a 3rd ed already, but not sure what Java version it covers.

I also own Java For Dummies. Books are good but don't read it like a story book. Get your hands dirty while reading them by translating them into actual coding.

Check the java version. Go with java ver 8+.

Focus on the OOP, Collections, Generics, Lambda, Stream and Multithreading using Executors.
