What are good ways to improve my java coding capabilities?

Question

Any recommended tutorials, books, apps, videos educational games, etc. is appreciated(aside from Sololearn of course).
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I think most people would tell you that best way to get better would be simply by doing, but that seems a bit generalist.

Think about why you started learning Java to begin with and taking baby steps towards writing tidbits that could eventually be used in a related application, or just practice typing out and exploring code that interests you.

As far as books are concerned, I personally recommend the following (groupedish by order one might read them):

Core Java Volume 1 & 2 - Horstmann
*Effective Java 2nd Ed. - Bloch

*Java Concurrency in Practice - Goetz
Java 8 in Action - Urma, Cusco, Maycroft
Java Performance: The Definitive Guide - Oaks

*Java Puzzlers - Bloch & Fatter

* = really good reads imo

That being said, Java has excellent documentation available for free online.

Best of luck.
