Java books for beginners?

Question

Java

Please help me choose a normal book for beginners in java programming, I recently started reading Schildt, Horstmann, I didn’t like them, the material is poorly absorbed, there are no practical examples. I have no experience in programming at all, so advise something sensible and simple ?

Answer 1

Head First Java.

Answer 2

What does "didn't like" mean?
This is not a novel by Dontsova. I can’t imagine what could be easier than Schildt. If you don’t understand it either, then maybe programming is not your forte?

Answer 3

You need to try to understand Schildt, because there is no easier way. There are practical examples at the end of each chapter, but at first it's better to just read the theory in order to understand what programming is all about.

Answer 4

I won’t be original, I’ll just remind you of the classics: ^(clickable)

Answer 5

K. Sierra and B. Bates. Learning Java
Everything is in pictures and diagrams.
There are also puzzles of different difficulty levels.
I also started with Schildt, but I had to switch to this one. I use Shield as a reference.

Answer 6

Jacob Fine. Java Programming for Kids, Parents and Grandparents

Answer 7

Schildt in the latest edition of the complete guide to java 2015 - no tasks and examples.

Answer 8

It is really necessary to read and understand Schildt, Eckel, but for a start, in order to get involved and understand, so to speak, what programming is, it might make sense to dig deeper into Javarash (I hope I am not breaking the rules with this statement)? Without paying, just go through the first levels several times - do puzzles, hone your skills on a simple one, and then specialized literature will go easier. I also advise you to read "Perfect Code" by McConnell. Yes, there is no binding to a specific language, but for a beginner this book is simply a must-read in my opinion (and not only a beginner)
