Good to begin...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I'm an E-Commerce Developer (using Embed Perl, Perl5, TCL, ADP, OpenACS) for more than 7 years, and I just had the time to migrate to Java just this year. I know learning a new language needs some technical experience, otherwise your time table would have some complexity especially if you're on a fast environment. Getting this book would give you a good head start on Java (if you're serious migrating on this system). There's a lot of books out there to start your career (w/ Java) but definitely it's upto your experience level on how you react to the technicalities of the contents. Just read the book first before you buy (it's free from BN and Borders), and you'll not be disappointed later on.
A great 2nd book for the beginning programmer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I came to Java with some previous limited programming experience, most of which I forgot years ago. You can actually learn everything about Java using available online resources ( Sun's tutorials, mailing list archives, etc ) but I constantly finding myself going to this book when I need to more than the API tells me. Its probably not the best book for someone who's just starting programming. For the complete beginner I'd recommend Sam's Teach Yourself Java 2 in 21 days. And since Java is moving on to version 1.5 you can probably get a good deal on this book.
Most useful for learning some specific parts of Java
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I have read "Thinking in Java..." by Bruce Eckel and some other Java books and I have found that this book, "Mastering Java 2 J2SE 1.4", covers same material in a different way, with lot of diagrams and pictures, wich has helped me to read it with joy. There are some mistakesin source code, wich I have found on accompanied CD, but I have found easy to rectify it.I would recommend this book to anybody who already knows some Java and wants to learn some specific parts of Java, i.e. printing.
