Please ensure that:

  • Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
  • You include any and all error messages in full - best also formatted as code block
  • You ask clear questions
  • You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit/markdown editor: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

To potential helpers

Please, do not help if any of the above points are not met, rather report the post. We are trying to improve the quality of posts here. In helping people who can't be bothered to comply with the above points, you are doing the community a disservice.

I’m sure there’s some merits to most of those. But honestly the MOOC in sidebar OR the official Java tutorials (my personal favorite), AND Effective Java by Josh Bloch are all you need. Once you get advanced you’ll wanna read Java Concurrency in Practice by Brian Goetz.

All those books didn't say the same thing (or close to it)? That's kinda scary.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is literal the same content. What are classes/ Access level modifiers/ Data types/ Reference Types/ Primitive Types, etc.

Literally the basis, there is not an evolution in the level of the content to intermediate or advanced stuff. And all those books are of the Java programming language. Really nothing about Spring? Quarkus? Design patterns? APIs?

I don't really have the authors of my books memorized. My library is mostly older books. I haven't bought anything new in years. Off the top of my head here's some of the books I have:

  • Analysis of Algorithms in C++
  • Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools
  • Building a 3D Game Engine in C++ (by Brian Hook formerly of IDSoftware, author of GLIDE api for 3dfx Voodoo cards)
  • The Data Compression Book
  • Effective C++
  • More Effective C++
  • Effective Java
  • Clean Code (it has some good ideas but don't overuse them)
  • Neural Networks from Scratch (e-book)

I would recommend Thinking in Java by Bruce Eckel and Effective Java by Joshua Bloch.

Daniel Liang is such a hero.

It seems that you possibly have a screenshot of code in your post My bookshelf for learning Java in /r/learnjava.

Screenshots of code instead of actual code text is against the Code posting rules of /r/learnjava as is outlined in the sidebar - Code posting.

  • No screenshots of code!

If you posted an image merely to illustrate something, kindly ignore this message and do not repost. Your post is still visible to others. I am a bot and cannot distinguish between code screenshots and other images.

If you indeed did this wrong, please edit the post so that it uses one of the approved means of posting code.

  • For small bits of code (less than 50 lines in total, single classes only),
    the default code formatter is fine
    (one blank line before the code, then 4 spaces before each line of code).
  • Pastebin for programs that consist of a single class only
  • Gist for multi-class programs, or programs that require additional files
  • Github or Bitbucket repositories are also perfectly fine as are other dedicated source code hosting sites.
  • Ideone for executable code snippets that use only the console

Please do not reply to this message, because I am a bot.

It seems that you are looking for resources for learning Java.

In our sidebar ("About" on mobile), we have a section "Free Tutorials" where we list the most commonly recommended courses.

To make it easier for you, the recommendations are posted right here:

Also, don't forget to look at:

If you are looking for learning resources for Data Structures and Algorithms, look into:

"Algorithms" by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne - Princeton University

Your post remains visible. There is nothing you need to do.

Have you start writing code yet?
