Top 9 Java Programming Books - Best of lot, Must Read

These top Java programming books are some of the good books to learn Java and I would say some of them are simply best Java books ever published. Whenever a programmer starts learning Java programming language, the first question he asks is "Which book should I refer to learn Java?", or "What is the best book to learn Java for beginners?" or "Can you tell me some good books to learn Java?" .That itself says how important Java books are for programmers especially beginners.  Despite having so many free resources available in Java like tutorials, tips, blogs and code examples, Java books have their own place because of two reasons:

• They are written by programmers who are authority in subject
• They cover the subject with more details and explanation.

Python vs JavaScript - Which Programming Language Beginner and Junior Developer Should Learn?

A couple of years ago, I have blogged about Python vs Java and which programming language a beginner should learn or which programming language is better to get started with programming, but now the question has changed. It's no more about Java but its about JavaScript. Now the choice is between Python or JavaScript. Don't get me wrong, I am still a Java developer and still love Java most but as an author, blogger, and technical guy I keep exploring new technologies so that I can advise and support people in their learning and I have seen things has changed in last a couple of years. Python has a come a long way from just being a scripting language it was.

Top 5 Courses to Learn IntelliJIDEA and Android Studio IDE for Java Programmers

There is no doubt that IntelliJ IDEA is THE best IDE for Java development, even though Eclipse may still be probably used by more people because it's FREE, IntelliJ IDEA is the most feature rich and complete IDE. The Android Studio, which is the official IDE for Android development in Java is also based upon IntelliJ IDEA, which further cement its place as the IDE Java developer should learn. The only thing which stops me and many other Java developers to moving from IntelliJ IDEA in the past was the lack of resources. Since Eclipse was free from the start, there are tons of resources e.g. books, courses, and tutorials are available. There are also a lot of resources to learn productivity tips e.g. keyboard shortcuts and debugging techniques, but there were not many for Intelli IDEA.

Top 5 Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Courses and Certifications to Learn Online

The GCP or Google Cloud Platform is a slightly late entrant in the world of public cloud computing but it has completely changed the public cloud landscape in the last few years, particularly the monopoly of AWS on Cloud has been challenged. It's still neither the most popular public cloud platform like Amazon Web Services, nor the darling of corporate world like Microsoft Azure but its Performance, Tools, and innovation of Google is attracting more and more companies on Google Cloud Platform, particularly in the areas of Big Data and Machine Learning. With tools like Bigtable, BigQuery, and libraries like TensorFlow, Google Cloud Platform is quickly becoming the go-to platform for Machine learning innovations. Because of all these, there is an increased demand for Cloud experts who are familiar with GCP and Google Cloud Platform concepts and tools.

Bucket Sort in Java with Example - How Algorithm Works

In recent years, one of the questions I have increasingly seen in programming job interviews is about constant time sorting algorithms like do you know any O(n) sorting algorithm? how do they work? When I first encountered this question, I had no idea whether we can sort in constant time because even some of the fastest sorting algorithms like QuickSort or MergeSort takes O(N log N) time for sorting on their average case. After some research, mainly by going through the classic CLRS book and this DS and Algorithms course by Tim Buchalka and Goran Lochert on Udemy, I come to know that there indeed are some constant time or linear time sorting algorithms like bucket sort, counting sort, and radix sort, which can sort an array in O(n) time but they work with only a special set of input.
