Head First Java is a pretty good book. Use the tutorials by Sun along with that book.

Java: the complete reference

Get your basics right. Then start reading this book

 

[dennis_nail]

If you are just beginning learning programming with Java, Head First Java is a good book which is written in a light-hearted language. Java 2 complete Reference (latest Edition) should be a better choice if you already know C/C++ and want to quickly dive into Java. PM me if you need any Java ebooks.

Java complete reference is just what is says - a reference book. It is not meant for actually learning programming in java. If you are new to programming, then pick up head first java. The complete reference will come handy when you actually start programming

If you are completely new to programming then head first java is good book to start with as a lot of ppl above me have suggested...

If you have some programming knowledge and have done something like c/c++ then i would suggest Just Java 2 as i found it well writen. Its not as elementary as head first so i will only advice it if you have some programming basics.....

Thinking in Java by Bruce Eckel is pretty good as well. He's offering the 2nd edition pdf free on his website. Just google it and check out the book.

Compelete Ref by Herbert Schieldt is a good book to start with.

 

[kgthelazy]

by all costs avoid Complete Ref by Herbert Schieldt --- it is pretty useless and javadocs provide more info than this book.

as mentioned start with : Head First Java , then for more in depth knowledge go for Core Java , Effective Java by Josh Bloch.

and go for books which deal with Java 5 only , no need to start with 1.4 or earlier version of java.

I read Core Java 2 from Gary Cornell ( Prentice Hall Pub ). That book was really good if you are already used to programming in other languages. No ABCD basics to programming.

I didn't like The Complete Reference. Was too dry and I feel the tutorials on Sun are way better.

Complete Reference is just what it says. A complete reference. It's a book you open when you get stuck.

You learn Java from amazing literature like Head First.

Programming With Java By Balaguruswamy.Quite simple.

Complete reference will be a overdose for you.

 

[viralbug]

i agree, java complete reference isnt good for learning.

go with head first

The book is by Bert Bates, Kathy Sierra...and currently the Publishers of this book are O'REILLY......

Head First Java | O'Reilly Media

Its a good book...i learnt most of my JAVA concepts from this book....it uses an unconventional approach of making us grasp something....and for me that worked......
