Mastering Java: An Effective Project Based Approach including Web Development, Data Structures, GUI Programming and Object Oriented Programming (Beginner to Advanced) / White, Michael B.

Let’s be very honest, a programming language cannot be learned in “one day” or “fast”. You will need lots of examples and practice to learn Java, especially if you are beginner. Beware of other shorter books that only touch on the topic and do not provide enough exercises or examples.

This book was designed to make concepts as easy as possible, while explaining how programming works. This guide is different from others in that it includes a variety of different exercises that readers can learn from. The best way to learn Java is to follow the examples/exercises and create your own code.

You no longer have to waste your money on books that are are only 200 pages and do not deliver enough value. You deserve better.

This book is also different from others because it includes important Java interview questions.
