Great post! The only difficult thing to do now is to choose one of the listed books to begin reading!

Hello Daniel, choose based upon your experience:

  1. If you are starting from ground zero, choose Head First Java.
  2. If you know Java but want to learn new features of JDK 8, 9, 10, 11 then Modern Java in Action
  3. If you have used Java for more than 2 years, Effective Java
  4. Others are more specific to improve a particular area like Concurrency, Collections, JVM internals, and others.
