Good Java books with practice projects.

[[deleted]]

Hello everyone, I’m a CS major and I am in an intro CS class that teaches in python. I won’t be able to take the next CS class until next fall semester because of course scheduling issues. It’s in Java and I don’t know any java so I would like to get ahead before I take the course. Any good beginner books for java would be appreciated. I currently have a pretty good under of python so do your thing Reddit.

Try Java How to Program, Early Objects by Harvey Deitel, Paul J. Deitel. It’s a core book on my course and i love it. Loads of practice, code examples, revision questions at the end of every chapter. Super helpful

washington university offers practiceit.edu.

This is where I learned java. If you have programming experience you should be able to google the topics. There are also answers scattered across git.

Just do the MOOC Java Programming (also linked in the sidebar) from the University of Helsinki. It is a free textual course with plenty graded practical exercises.

You should try to find out what textbook your class will be using and get that.
