Which java book has more practical tasks and examples?

Question

Java

Actually where there is more practice:
"Philosophy of Java", Bruce Eckel;
Schildt, complete guide;
Horstmann and Cornell;
"Learning Java" by Cathy Sierra, Bert Bates;
or something else?
"Schildt, a Beginner's Guide" I read.
I'm new to programming)

Answer 1

I don’t understand why everyone immediately read Schildt. I didn't like him very much - he speaks dryly.
Horstmann's "Big Java" is our everything. There are two editions of this book, Late Objects and Early Objects, and you can start with either. Horstmann also has books "Core Java. Fundamentals" and "Core Java. Advanced", one might say analogues of Schildt. I highly recommend Horstmann.

Answer 2

I liked the book Yakov Fain Programming in Java in 24 hours along with materials for it here and here
You can also watch a video course on the book from the author, here materials for it

Answer 3

Java: industrial programming

Answer 4

It seems to me that for a beginner in terms of practical tasks , a “combo” book (theory) + an online course (excerpts from theory + practice) will show better:
hexlet / javarush (rus) pluralsight (engl) ... many of them are paid and free. Take a couple of hours to familiarize yourself.
PS Pure analysis of listings by books without "feeling with hands" - the efficiency will be lower. Well, or you can invent and solve simple tasks for yourself (but for a complete beginner it will be difficult, but surmountable, especially if there is someone nearby to help).
