Very good book to start to learn Java
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
A very good book to start to learn Java (though currently a bit outdated). I am continuously using it when I have to find the basic ideas about a concept in Java.
The best for beginners
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I read this book 3 years ago, when I started to learn Java. While this book is not recommended for advanced users, I think it's the best one for a beginner, especially because it doesn't mislead You by favoring different IDEs (MS VJ++, Visual Cafe, etc.). I would also recommend Jamsa's book "Rescued by C++", to those intersted. Again, excellent book for college students or anyone new to programming.
Pretty Good Starter

This book is definately not 10 point material, but is nothing to sneeze at, never-the-less. Each chapter of the book was short, and simple, and you were expected to learn "why" something worked instead of just "type this blindly" (the teach yourself in XX days books use that method and I find it hard to LEARN anything from them) I really enjoyed the book and retained a lot of the information too! The biggest turnoff today for the book is that it covers jdk1.0.x thus some of the APIs are deprecated (this can be a good thing though, it will teach you how to use the API manuals to find out what replaced those deprecated APIs.. thus LEARNING) I too noticed many typos, but to look at the bright side, when I saw a typo it proved to me that I was actually LEARNING, and was able to point out errors made by the author themself.. in short, even the books shortcomings turned out to be vastly helpful!
Good Beginner's Book if you want to study.

I knew nothing about programming before this book. At first I was annoyed and a little frustrated by the sparse explanations, but later as I studied the provide code deeper, my understanding really took off. This book can be great if you stick with it and really study.
A good book if you want to learn Java Now!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 28 years ago
Java Now! is probably the quickest and most content-packed book about the Java programming language. The book, which is divided into three sections, covers almost all topics of Java programming from variables to loops to threads to animation to mouse and keyboard input to interfaces and inheritance to abstract classes to dialog-box operations and more. So, if you're a begginer and are looking for an easy way to learn Java, this is the book for you. You can finish reading it quickly, due to its 10-minute lessons, and be on your way to creating complex object-oriented programs within days.
