Head First Java: A Brain-Friendly Guide

What will you learn from this book?

Head First Java is a complete learning experience in Java and object-oriented programming. With this book, you’ll learn the Java language with a unique method that goes beyond how-to manuals and helps you become a great programmer. Through puzzles, mysteries, and soul-searching interviews with famous Java objects, you’ll quickly get up to speed on Java’s fundamentals and advanced topics including lambdas, streams, generics, threading, networking, and the dreaded desktop GUI. If you have experience with another programming language, Head First Java will engage your brain with more modern approaches to coding–the sleeker, faster, and easier to read, write, and maintain Java of today.

What’s so special about this book?

If you’ve read a Head First book, you know what to expect–a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works. If you haven’t, you’re in for a treat. With Head First Java, you’ll learn Java through a multisensory experience that engages your mind, rather than by means of a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep.

Learning isn’t something that just happens to you. It’s something you do. Learning means building more mental pathways, bridging connections between new and pre-existing knowledge, recognizing patterns, and turning facts and information into knowledge (and ultimately, wisdom).

Based on the latest research in cognitive science, neuro-biology, and educational psychology, Head First books get your brain into learning mode.
