In favor of which book should you choose?

Question

Java

Hello! Help with choosing a book. I want to hear the opinions of the people who have worked on them.
I chose:
1) Schildt. Java 8 Beginner's Guide.
2) Bruce Eckel. Java Philosophy. 4th edition.
3) Horstmann and Cornell. Volume 1. Basics. 7 edition.
4) Sierra and Bates. Learning Java.
And further. Who did JavaRush? Is there an effect?

Answer 1

If you are new to OOP, then 4 then 3. If not, then immediately 3.

Answer 2

At the moment I'm learning Java from Schildt's book. but I think it's a matter of taste. IMHO, sometimes in this book they complicate concepts a little, some things I don’t understand the first time. but there are good examples that solve this problem. you can also combine: read the book you like, study the material on it, and if something is not clear there, then run to see how it is described in another book.

Answer 3

I really like Shieldt. The Beginner's Guide is a great place to start. In addition, there is another option with a more detailed presentation: "Java 8. The Complete Guide" 9th edition, 2015 (ISBN 978-5-8459-1918-2) - I would not advise a beginner, but after the first book it will help to understand in depth.
