Java For Testers
People ask me what books I recommend to learn Java. And I have a few books that I thoroughly recommend, but they are not aimed at beginners.
Those that are aimed at beginners, I re-read recently and came to the conclusion that they would confuse more than help, and they don't help people become productive fast.
I wrote a book that gets testers started fast, is easy to follow, and has examples related to their work.
