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

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 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.

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.

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.

Extremely well written and understandable. I will be purchasing more of this author's books. Great for all levels. Highly recommend it.

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 @$$.

In general it's very informative. I read this book for reinforcement and I noticed that the formatting of some of the exercies were wrong. I thought it might just be a different style but when I tried them they were full of errors.But if your looking for a good crash course on Java this is a great book.
