Java is a versatile, popular programming language used across a wide range of industries. Learning how to write effective Java code can take your career to the next level, and The Java Workshop will help you do just that. This book is designed to take the pain out of Java coding and teach you everything you need to know to be productive in building real-world software. The Workshop starts by showing you how to use classes, methods, and the built-in Collections API to manipulate data structures effortlessly. You’ll dive right into learning about object-oriented programming by creating classes and interfaces and making use of inheritance and polymorphism.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

Purchased for my high schooler who has a keen interest in programming and computer science. He has just devoured this book, and his programming teacher was impressed with it as well!

Sutharsan Jun 01, 2024

At the time I am reading this book, the version of IntelliJ IDEA is 2024.1.2. While I understand that this is how things work in the world of computing, an advanced notice that the version in the book would be 2018.3.4 would have helped me, the reader, decide on the correct version to download and install. The two versions are vastly different. In exercise 1, step 4 does not tally with the image shown. If we name the project chapter01, where does ch01 come from? These are some issues I am seeing right at the beginning. I hope it would get better.

Xi Xiao Oct 19, 2021

I quickly went through the book today and here are my two cents. I think it's not a complete guide for beginners but is good for beginners as a practice book. The content covers some key fundamental parts of Java Programming and has some hands-on practice in each chapter on each topic. But it might be a bit hard to follow and fully understand the topic based only on the descriptions and instructions in the book. It's better for the learners to learn these topics somewhere else, with a teacher, or watch some online videos first to have some basic understandings of the topics first. Then use this book as a practice book to test and to get some deeper understandings.

The code you need to enter from this book is written in a strange font which makes it very hard to read. It's also difficult to find a way to access the online materials
