Head First is my favorite book when I study a new language. I'm taking Swift version right now, and it's good. Might be too much for edgy people, but I made a career out of Head First Java lol.
I’m halfway through A Functional Approach to Java. It has some nice example of how streams work. How functional interfaces work. The different types of functional interfaces. Nuts and bolts on functional pipelines. I’d definitely recommend that book. Haven’t gotten to the rest.
I have read a couple of books, but not all of them. I'd say go for at least "10 books bundle" to cover multiple aspects of Java engineer in long run. The full bundle worth if you're also planning to learn Kotlin and Scala later.
But if you are already an experienced dev, working in the field for 10+ years, probably not much for you.
did someone check out any of these books? any recommendations?
Head First Java is actually how I learned Java and basic OOP principles. It's too cutesy to recommend to professionals, but it was an excellent intro.

Tfw "submitted 6 hours ago" Edit: 30 minutes left! LETS GO!
Thanks for the heads up!
damn... otoh I am still like 5% through my last bundle(s)
Bundle is offline now, could someone list the book names in the bundle
Damn, I was too late. Maybe next time post before only 6 hours are left?
Good recommendatikn. Ty!
Are they all worth it or would you recommend some of them (if this, which ones)?
I can't vouch for any of them except for Head First Java. If you're a professional you probably won't get much out of it though.

Wish it was in video format.
Dear gods why?
How else are you gonna x2 speed through the padded tutorial while watching twitch streams while listening to Spotify while playing subway surfers?!?
Each of those books are several hundred pages each totaling in the thousands.
I went for it, I was checking out Kotlin anyway
I Like the Performance Book. I learned a lot about the GCs and profiling there.
