How to further learn Java if you know the basics?

Question

Java

I want to learn Java. I took a course on Udacity , but I don’t know where to go next. Tell me what literature is worth reading and what courses to take?

Answer 1

Perhaps you should read "Java. Efficient Programming" (the trackers have the latest edition in Russian)
Horstman's two-volume: Java library for a professional
Well, it would be nice to pull up algorithms and data structures (or at least have a general idea about them). For example, read this or this

Answer 2

Looking in what direction was going to develop
my recipe is
0. looking for a mentor (desirable point)
1. taking an interesting task or a mini-project from the chosen direction and starting to implement it as best you can
2. post it on github
3. ask the mentor to make a code-review and, taking into account the comments, rewrite
points 2 -3 you repeat the required number of times :)

Answer 3

I advise you to read Schildt, the 9th edition will be released at the end of February, which will take into account chips from Java 8

Answer 4

Once again, I recommend the book "Effective Java" by Joshua Bloch - the best thing is when you already know something, but you still want to learn how to use it correctly.
