The #1 Java Guide for Serious Programmers: Fully Updated for Java SE 9, 10 and amp; 11

and nbsp;

For serious programmers, Core Java, Volume I―Fundamentals, Eleventh Edition, is the definitive guide to writing robust, maintainable code. Whether you’re using Java SE 9, 10, or 11, it will help you achieve a deep and practical understanding of the language and API, and its hundreds of realistic examples reveal the most powerful and effective ways to get the job done.

and nbsp;

Cay Horstmann’s updated examples reflect Java’s long-awaited modularization, showing how to write code that’s easier to manage and evolve. You’ll learn how to use JShell’s new Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL) for more rapid and exploratory development, and apply key improvements to the Process API, contended locking, logging, and compilation.

and nbsp;

In this first of two volumes, Horstmann offers in-depth coverage of fundamental Java and UI programming, including objects, generics, collections, lambda expressions, Swing design, concurrency, and functional programming. If you’re an experienced programmer moving to Java SE 9, 10, or 11, there’s no better source for expert insight, solutions, and code.

Master foundational techniques, idioms, and best practices for writing superior Java code
Leverage the power of interfaces, lambda expressions, and inner classes
Harden programs through effective exception handling and debugging
Write safer, more reusable code with generic programming
Improve performance and efficiency with Java’s standard collections
Build cross-platform GUIs with the Swing toolkit
Fully utilize multicore processors with Java’s improved concurrency

See Core Java, Volume II―Advanced Features, Eleventh Edition (ISBN-13: 978-0-13-516631-4, coming in 2018), for expert coverage of Java 9, 10, and 11 enterprise features, the module system, annotations, networking, security, and advanced UI programming.

Good Book!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

I found this book very helpful to enforce understanding of basic java concepts. It is designed for someone with programming experience in mind so it does not go into painful detail. It definitely helped me with concepts I was struggling with. I went through the book in two days.
If you are new to programming go through a Udemy video first and then follow up with this book.
I used the Kindle edition, worked great.
I will definitely purchase the volume II.
Thank you to programmers that take the time to write quality material like this.
I have used C++, so the C++ comment sections were very helpful to me.
This is definitely one of the best resources for learning Java I have come across.
Only 4 stars: Went on too long with basic OOP concepts instead of hitting on the big sticking points.
I feel like it would be more productive to just reference an IDE like IntellJ or Eclipse and say "The IDE is just going to generate this code for you, this is what it does ,and let's move on."

I would have rated this better if I had prior experience with java and some of the basic inner workings. I am quite lost right now as it doesn't go into details about how things work. It has examples, though the examples do not explain what is going on.

Easy to read but full of great information.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is very readable, even for someone like me who does not come from a computer science background. I am familiar with Python and bought this book to start learning how to use a more high-performance language, and I found the book was readable by itself, meaning that I didn't need to just reference it while working on problems; I was able to learn some fundamentals of Java just by reading it like any other book. I will say that some of the stuff I really want to learn is covered in volume II, so this book is really part I of II and might not cover everything you want to know.

Very good, not for beginners

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book isn't going to teach you programming as it assumes you already understand the fundamentals. Between this one and the next one they'll teach you basically everything you could possibly want to know about the core java language.

I like that some sections start with the disclaimer that unless you're writing libraries or other more advanced programs you can probably skip the section. It's probably good to quickly go through them though so you know more or less what's in them.

Great book!

TONS of information. I like the writing style, too.
I don't know if this is a beginner's book, though.
As someone else said, some topics, such as reflections, are covered in this book; but application programmers are told to come back to this topic later - seems like this topic should be in the other book.

Great book for learning Java.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 1, 2020

Verified Purchase

A great text book for learning Java I wish my college how do use this textbook instead of another garbage textbook that was “required” but the teacher never assigned any work out of it.
The other text book also cost far more than this one and isn’t even as good.

Background in programming knowledge is recomended

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

The book is solid, content is really clear, examples and code are great, but its a good idea to have a prior introduction to programming in general before introducing yourself to Java and this book. Other than that I do recommend it. It wont help you with all your doubts and questions but it represent a solid ground to start building your programming experience.

Purchase ONLY if you have good Java knowledge

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on August 2, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is not for you if you are a beginner or even have little knowledge about Java. You must have GOOD Java knowledge and then from this book you can learn how to use new classes and interfaces introduced in Java. Name of the book is Java Fundamentals but believe me if you don't know abt Java or even have lil knowledge of Java then DO NOT PURCHASE this book. One more point I want to emphasize, the book has tough examples, haphazard manner of presentation For eg: Swing explained in Chapter 10 but used in Chapter 5. Most of the times a concept which is explained in volume 2, is used in examples in volume 1 book. Very tiring job to read these 2 vols. Non friendly way of explanation. In Java, built-in classes / interfaces have many methods. Author explain 1 or 2 methods and rest present in table listing methods with very little explanation. Most of the topics have very lil explanation. Also no output of code given.

El libro con el que debes empezar

Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on August 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

Es un buena referencia que toca temas esenciales y fundamentales de programación en Java, bien prodria ser el libro con el que debemos empezar todos y los que ya anduvimos el camino una muy buena referencia para corregir malas practicas, recordar y/o descubrir nuevas cosas de Java en su versión 11 que es la que quedara por muchos años mas pues es la LTS y de ahí hasta la versión 15 y aun así, seguirá usándose mucho Java 11, así que quedan algunos años y es una buena apuesta.

En cuanto a la calidad del libro físico es acorde a su precio y calidad de contenido, es comprensible el grosor de las hojas pues es un libro voluminoso, si tienes los cuidados de cualquier libro, no debe haber problemas, es un libro grueso por lo que la regla general es no lo abras de par en par, conserva un angulo para evitar el desgaste del lomo que un problema de todos los libros gruesos.

Finalmente el libro llego un poco maltratado, asumo que no del todo responsabilidad del vendedor, si no mas bien de la logística de Amazon o de la empresa logística que halla sido, solo cuidar entonces este aspecto ya sea que el vendedor envié mejor protegidos los libros o las empresas logísticas sean mas cuidadosas al respecto

Je précise un peu ma note :
Si vous êtes un développeur C++ qui souhaite se mettre à Java le livre vaudra. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
En effet, l'auteur fait énormément de parallèle, souvent poussé, entre les deux langages.

Si vous êtes un développeur avec un bagage en paradigme procédural et avec des notions de POO, le livre vaudra ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Si vous êtes débutant, que vos connaissances s’arrêtent aux bases mais que vous êtes curieux et volontaire je mettrais ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Sinon ⭐️ ⭐️

Sans mâcher mes mots, je trouve l’auteur un peu chiant, légèrement supérieur et il ne faut pas s’attendre à beaucoup de pédagogie de sa part. Pour ma part, à cette étape de mon apprentissage je suis à la recherche de cet approfondissement technique, mais si vous êtes un débutant avec l’envie d’apprendre dans le fun, fuyez.
J’ai de la peine à placer cet ouvrage, ce n’est pas une référence puisque la doc java fera le taf, ce n’est pas un guide pour débutant puisqu’un débutant sera très clairement paumé, je dirais que c’est un ouvrage idéal pour apprendre la POO en venant du C++ ou en ayant déjà des bases solides.
