    —the most popular coding language

    Is Python now

      It hasn't been Java in over 10 years - the main use for it nowadays is Minecraft. The book appears to be out of date which may explain this claim - and why it's free.

      • Java is used in mission-critical/infrastructure applications.

        • I hope those mission-critic apps are air gapped.

      • your first claim may hold some truth, but your second claim destroys your credibility.

        Java is still in use on (literally) billions of devices and is still among the top choices for server-side applications.

    I haven't heard of Java since my primary school RuneScape years.

    • +2

      Yet it runs half of the applications you use everyday.

        Only because cheap stuff uses old/leftover technology. Heck, tonnes of it still has Micro-USB ports. Very little modern stuff is made with Java.

          Is there anything to back that statement? Also what is "modern stuff"? Modern-looking, modern architecturally, modern as in "a newly created project that's supposed to use something sounding fresh just for the sake of it"?

          I'd argue some industries like finances, logistics have stalwart Java users, no matter if it's for maintaining the old code or introducing new services. Also mobile devepment with Java seems to be popular.

          • @pizzaguy: Seek ads for Java vs Python devs gives a pretty clear indication. Plus the fact that enterprise is always 10 years behind in software related stuff. Plenty of companies still use IE and/or Java apps, because someone wrote something 20 years ago which doesn't work in a modern browser and it's become critical to the business and it's easier/cheaper to maintain it than build a new system.

            I meant modern as in new projects, or actively developed software, not older stuff that needs maintenance. Minecraft is probably the largest actively developed purely Java projects in the world (most other systems also use a lot of Python and C), with over 30 million sales of the Java version.

            I don't disagree that Java is still everywhere, but the glory days are definitely behind us - I wouldn't be choosing Java for any new project unless there was a compelling reason (eg we have a Java dev on staff already, the system needs to integrate with another Java-based system, or there is some cost benefit from re-using code or something).

            • @Nukkels: I'm not sure about it, but I don't have a thing to back my stance.

              I'm curious what platform-independent language you would choose for a new enterprise-kind/level software development.

              • @pizzaguy: Depends what it's for. Most of the stuff we do nowadays from scratch is Python, but there's a few systems where JavaScript makes more sense (mostly web stuff). CSS, SQL, etc are for specific use cases and I know at least one recent app was written in C (might have been C++). But that's just one company as an example.

                • +1

                  @Nukkels: I think I can assure myself and everyone that Java is fine and has a lot of use cases - no matter what Python/web stuff bubble a person is in at the moment.

    The book may be useful if someone has a very specific need to learn Java 19.

    Java 22 is the current version, released a few weeks ago.

    • +1

      It's "Java for Dummies", so I bet it's perfectly fine for most of the people who want to start with Java, ie. they may not need to leverage all the potential goodies that have been introduced in the last 18 months or so.

      edit: Having said that there seem to have been a revolution in how Hello World can be written in Java 21.

    • there is very little that's fundamentally different between versions 19 and 22. This book will be fine for "Dummies", i.e. people starting out
