Top 7 Java Application Development Books for Aspiring Developers

Java is the best platform for building high-end applications, and there are a number of ways in which programmers can use Java to create reliable and reusable applications. This article discusses seven best books that help developers to master various features of Java application development.

Java, and especially Java Version 2 (J2EE), is arguably the best platform for building high-end applications. Java offers a vast array of features and facilities to the developers, but all the countless possibilities make Java a rather complex language. Thankfully, there are a number of standardized Java services that make the task of creating messaging, database access and security extremely easy. Today, a majority of companies are choosing Java application development for creating high-end, reusable and reliable applications.

There is always great demand in the industry for programmers and developers who possess a good command over Java. For people who wish to improve their Java application development skills, there are several excellent books. The books listed below are (in my opinion) the best books for programmers who wish to learn or get better at Java application development.

Effective Java: This book, written by Joshua Bloch, is the best foundation for Java development. Effective Java begins with the basics and moves on to more complex issues. Anyone who reads and understands the book methodically will turn into an ideal programmer. The book doesn’t just address the programming issues, but it also discusses the right way of approaching a development problem.

Introduction to Programming Using Java: Written by David J. Eck, this is the perfect book for programmers who aim to master Java on their own. There are a number of programming exercises, tips and tricks to help you get better at practical application.

Thinking in Java: Written by Bruce Eckel, this book is perfect for beginner-level students who desire to master object-oriented programming for the internet. Although the book is written for beginners, it doesn’t shy away from discussing in detail the nitty-gritty of Java development. It throws light on topics like elementary threading, Generics, Swing and Java NIO.

Head First Java: Like other books from the ‘Head First’ series, Head First Java replaces boring and dry technical pages with a lot of entertaining pictures and fun. For readers who get bored quickly with the usual unexciting programming books, this is the book to buy.

Java Language Reference: This is the dictionary of Java language, and it is equally useful to beginners and experts. This book deserves a place on the desk of every developer. Java is used across the world for developing countless applications, and this book gives succinct facts and definitions that make it easier for the programmer to write appropriate, compliant and well-developed code.

J2EE and XML Development: Written by Kurt Gabrick and David Weiss, this book is a book for expert developers. The book shows how you can combine Java and J2EE to create robust software applications and systems. Related topics like integration of web services, architecture, and business partner integration are also covered in detail.

Java Data Objects: This is the perfect book for accomplished Java programmers who want to learn JDO. The book explores various ways in JDO can be used as a persistent layer in an application. This book is not for beginners, but developers who have a good grip on J2EE will find it easy to follow the arguments in this book.
