Of course it is a derived work.

Maybe not so obvious. If you read a book, are you a derivative work?

I read a Java book and created programs using knowledge given in the book. Is my program a derived work?

A book on Java was written to teach you Java, so it would be foolish to claim any copyright on your program.
