Thread: Every java programming reading material?

hey all,

does there exist a location where i can learn everything there is to learn about java?

i want to learn everything. youtube videos and google searching java only gives snippets of info which is no good. online courses are terrible because they're similar too. i want encyclopedias worth of knowledge if that's possible.

i like to learn as much as i can, "data..data..data" as they say.

anyone help me out?!

So I would first read reviews on which are the best books. You can also solicit book recommendations from others on this forum. The last book on Java I had covered Java 1.4 which was pre-generics so I can't recommend any good ones. I would at least try to get a book that covers Java 8+.
