"You've probably read the phrase 'anyone can learn how to code' many times before you landed this book.
While setting goals high is great, realistically speaking, coding isn't the most beginner-friendly skill to learn.
In fact, the resources available online usually make learning how to code sound too easy, but you'll soon find out that the book, tutorial or any other guide assumes you already know the basics and have the semblance of coding skills. By the time you figure this out, you're midway through a book you don't understand and just wasted your precious time.
This book was written specifically to:
Give beginners a road map to follow, after choosing the type of project they want to do
Make the content as straightforward as possible for kids, teens and non-tech adults to understand
How to Get the Most out of this Book
For starters, don't skip between chapters. You might get your light-bulb moment as you read through the first chapter, but make sure you understand all your options before deciding on one particular coding project.

"Coding is a very important part of our reality today. It is one of the fabrics that enable the modern world to run efficiently. I know you'd like to learn to code, or at least you know someone who would like to learn to code. But, perhaps you are being held back by the phrase 'coding is too hard.' I remember a friend telling me this once when I told him of my intention to learn to code. He was like, 'Are you serious, it is very hard. You'd actually have to be a genius to learn how to code. In fact, you'd have to be some kind of mad man'. We both knew I was neither a genius nor a madman. Fast forward 2 years later, now I know to code. Not just that, I'm also teaching everyday men and women the fundamentals of the subject.
There are lots of job opportunities for coders and programmers today. In fact, coding jobs are growing at an astounding rate. If the Internet and data are the infrastructures, then coders are the construction workers. As long as there is infrastructure to be built, construction workers will always have work. It is believed that this trend will continue for a long time. Now is the time to position yourself to benefit from this trend.
In this book, you'll be learning the fundamentals of coding languages, how to become an expert in the shortest time possible, and much more. I have attempted to demystify coding because coding is not that difficult, and all you need is a good teacher. This book has been written with you (a beginner) in mind. So there is no unnecessary jargon or words that will fly over your head."
"Performance has been an important factor for software developers. Java Performance tuning means optimizing the code to obtain a faster, more reliable, scalable, and easily maintainable code. This is a very important aspect because the code written by you should be very fast and maintainable, otherwise it not of any use.
Generally, it is best to keep your knobs off as far as Java tuning is concerned. Most applications, whose performance is required to be improved, can be improved by simply keeping the development environment up-to-date! We will discuss various aspects of tuning. Java performance tuning is a very vast topic, and as such, no document can contain the complete information. First, we will observe certain best practices that may improve your Java application’s performance. Then, we will mention the various improvements which could be made within your Java code.
Following Java performance tips provides all the details a developer needs for performance tuning of the Java code."
