One of our senior developers is putting together a class mostly based on Head First Java, 2nd Edition. The class will reinforce the basic language concepts for several of our developers who feel they still don’t quite get the point of inheritance or how an inner class works.
The developer explained that he was writing all the example code with JUnit and that Head First Java 2nd Edition has test classes and even mentions a process to follow of:
- Prep for coding.
- Test
- Code
For some reason though they don’t follow through and just show you JUnit and instead end up writing main method test classes. Still it’s by far the best Java beginner book, I just wish they went ahead and introduced people to JUnit.
