java question 2012-03-21 00:06:00


Hello all Im new here. So my question was what would be a good book to read for learning java? Im a beginner so i would need a book that explains things in a way I would understand.

I used Objects First With Java. It's hard to say how good the book is alone, because I was using that book as part of my uni course in first year, so we had lecturers to help us out as well.

Still, seeing as it's one of the only text books I've actually used it must have been alright. There are probably better options out there, but this is the only book I have experience with.

Well, first off check out your local library for any programming books on Java, that's where I found a book called "Java for Beginners" once.

But if they don't have any, I would recommend W3Schools!

They have simple step-by-step tutorials and they even show scripted examples that really help!
Also, like the other guy said, try that website as well.

Hope that helped! Good luck with JavaScripting!

You do realize that Java != JavaScript, right?


#include <stdio.h>

char*p="#include <stdio.h>%cchar*p=%c%s%c;%cmain() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}";

main() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}

just out of curiosity, was the != on purpose, or does that just come more naturally then typing "doesn't equal"?
i do it sometimes too.

By that I mean that the original post had nothing much to do with JavaScript.


#include <stdio.h>

char*p="#include <stdio.h>%cchar*p=%c%s%c;%cmain() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}";

main() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}

Thanks for the replys. And I did check out my libray before posting on here. Most of thier books are outdated or not
suited for beginners. Also that w3 site has nothing for java...so yeah. But thanks Dean i will check out that book you
mentioned. You guys would be surprised how many different editions of books there are of java, its real confusing deciding which one to pick.
