i'm a book guy, is there a reading list of books to learn java with practical examples and problems instead of videos, particularly for the finance industry?

Don't think beginners should read these books. They are too advanced....
3 of the books are for beginners, a couple are for intermediate and a few more are advance topics.Don't think beginners should read these books. They are too advanced....

They are not too advance once you take a book at a time. Reading books is not about doing it as fast as possible. It also requires the reader to do some self exploration.
Spring Framework is not the only framework. Java is not Spring. Wanna learn Java, start from Java. This is an introduction to Java, not introduction to Spring. Spring is very large.Also the list doesn't mention about Spring Framework at all....imo it is the most common stack for enterprise Java development.
hi david, thanks for the link and intro. May I ask which 3 books are beginner?3 of the books are for beginners, a couple are for intermediate and a few more are advance topics.

For short term, better learn Spring Boot well enough.hi david, thanks for the link and intro. May I ask which 3 books are beginner?
I did search before posting this thread but the problem is the reviews are all too general. Hence, decided to ask forum for word of mouth recommendations
in your view, what are the must read bibles for for java beginners? that will make your life much easier because you won't have to spend crazy amount of time to learn something
since i dont have a mentor/parent to spoon feed me, books and videos are the other way. Thing is I find videos too time consuming and not as clear. 2nd thing about vids is that it's hard for me to recall efficiently stuff whereas for books, i can read and recall things easily
I guess my question is how do I get myself skilled to get a job in the shortest timeframe and where relevant and practical skills that can be translated into project deliverables in the working world?
yes, to trader11 point, many questions were related to SPRING as well.
I went for several interviews and all wanted java. School didn't cover it indepth. I don't want to be a burden to my colleagues

Thanks for sharing! I learn the best through hands on project and coding exercisesHey I'm learning Java on my own too, but I'm towards the tail-end of my IT Infra career.
I would recommend "Java for Absolute Beginners" by Cosmina, publisher Apress.
Pro:
1) There is a complete project for you to work on, with detailed instructions what to do with IDE setup, and pretty clear explanation about Java 8 & 9
2) She also wrote on Spring Framework and Spring certifications. So you will get used to her style when you reach there, especially the use of Gradle for managing dependencies
Cons:
1) Don't be fooled by the title Absolute Beginner. You might need to complement it with other books.
Learn to learn from nowhere. Not just books which get outdated fastThanks for sharing! I learn the best through hands on project and coding exercises
