Description

Learn Java with Projects bridges the gap between introductory Java guides and verbose, theoretical references. This book is crafted to build a strong foundation in Java programming, starting from the Java environment itself. It goes far beyond a superficial review of the topics; it demonstrates, with practical examples, why these fundamentals are crucial for developing a deep understanding of the language. You'll not only learn about classes and objects but also see how these concepts are used in practical scenarios, enhancing your ability to write clean, efficient code. The engaging projects throughout the book provide real-world applications of complex topics, ensuring you can connect theoretical knowledge with practical skills. What makes this book stand out is the expertise of its authors. Seán, a seasoned university lecturer with over 20 years of experience, brings academic rigor and real-world insights, thanks to his work with a prestigious software company. Maaike, a passionate software developer and award-winning trainer, brings hands-on experience and a love for teaching. By the end of this book, you'll not only understand Java's core concepts and the critical advanced ones, but also gain practical experience through projects that mimic real-life challenges.

Who is this book for?

This book is for anyone looking to learn the core concepts of Java. If you’re learning programming (and Java) for the first time or want to upskill to Java (with experience in a different language), then this book is for you. Prior knowledge of programming is helpful but not necessary.

What you will learn

  • Get to grips with Java fundamentals to build a strong programming foundation
  • Gain a deep understanding of the critical object-oriented principles: encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism
  • Apply real-world scenarios using classes, objects, and interfaces
  • Master exception handling for robust error management
  • Explore generics and collections to manage complex data structures
  • Utilize lambda expressions and streams for efficient data processing
  • Complete practical projects to reinforce theoretical knowledge

In the software engineering world dominated by Python and Golang,there is a big universe where T-Rex 21, Java, is still a first-class citizen.This book is for you if you start your journey with software developmentor Java is your bread and butter.I highly recommend all exercises, especially in my favourite chaptersabout lambda functions and primitive streams.I highly recommend the book, and I can not wait for the next editionon Java Vector API and more advanced topics.As for Sean and Maaike,they prove, that learning new skills can be a lot of fun.

As someone deeply invested in the programming world, I was eager to delve into "Learn Java with Projects" by Maaike van Putten and Dr. Sean Kennedy (Let’s Get Certified). Learn Java with Projects is a comprehensive journey into the world of Java programming. The philosophy that mastery in programming comes from hands-on practice. Is brought to life in this book. The integration of theory with practical application underpins the material, highlighting van Putten and Kennedy's extensive experience in teaching and training. The choice of examples and projects around dinosaurs is a breath of fresh air in technical education and makes for a fun learning approach. The book uses diagrams effectively to explain concepts e.g. In-memory representation of immutable types. The book delves into the nuances of java Programming which is a necessity for anyone planning to take certification exams. The full chapter on Lambda expressions greatly clarified the topic for me. Two full chapters on Streams is noteworthy for anyone developing Microservices with Java. One possible enhancement for the book could be to list or index Java 21 features separately. While these features are embedded within the chapters, having them distinctly listed or indexed would make it easier for readers to quickly reference these latest language updates. "Learn Java with Projects" is a great resource. I would recommend this book for anyone whether you are a beginner, gearing up for certification or an experience programmer that wants to brush up on your skills.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
