Programming in Java

This new edition of the book on programming in Java has an ambitious goal: to teach everyone, including complete beginners, how to really program in a modern, object-oriented style, which is how the vast majority of key applications are developed today. It doesn't just settle for teaching the reader how to write a program; it's much more important to master proper design and understand the fundamental principles on which object-oriented programming is built. Therefore, you are not just holding a Java language manual, but a textbook on object-oriented programming in Java. It is possible that the work of “mere” coders in Java will eventually be performed by artificial intelligence, but a capable architect and application designer is still irreplaceable. And with the help of this book, that's exactly what you can become.

The book was reviewed by the leaders of various programming teams to assess how well it reflects the needs and habits of their daily practice. Some of them have decided to use it as required reading for newcomers in their teams. It couldn't have received a better recommendation.
