“Learn Java the Hard Way” is a book with tutorial videos that teaches you how to code the same way a lot of us learned as children in the 1980s: typing in short, simple programs and getting them to work.

The exercises and explanations in this book are distilled from my nearly two decades of experience teaching programming to ordinary students. Over 2,000 students have taken my classes and nine months later almost all of them knew how to code — at least a little!

If you have ever bought another Java book for “beginners” and been lost by page 10, then my book is for you.

Includes:

244-page book. Really learn the basics of programming with Java, even if other books have failed you.
Java source code for all the example programs in the book
dozens of Study Drills to test your understanding
