java books

Question

Java

I'm preparing for interviews for a java programmer position. I myself have not written anything in java for several years, what advise to read? At one time, I studied java according to Eckel, and of course, according to the documentation.

Also interested in textbooks on Object-Oriented Design. Grady Booch and Design Patterns come to mind, but the latter is more of a recipe book than a tutorial.

Answer 1

Java Philosophy (Bruce Eckel) www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/4073388/
Perfect Code (S. McConnell) www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/3159814/
Design Patterns (Gang of Four) www.ozon .ru/context/detail/id/2457392/
Refactoring (Martin Fowler) www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/1308678/
Algorithms. Construction and analysis (Kormen) www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/2429691/
I believe that these books should be read at least once, and then look back as needed :)

Answer 2

Joshua Bloch

Answer 3

As a reference guide, the book "Java. Complete Guide" 8th edition is very good. Written by Herbert Schildt. Red and white book with Oracle logo.
Schildt also has a book in the Java for Beginners series. Also with the Oracle logo.
According to the OOP, the book of the Gang of Four is considered a classic.
