I suggest you "Think Java" by Allen B. DOWNEY. This book is essential for beginners, the author is very explicit. In this book you will find exercises after almost every chapter. Give it a try if you are new to java programing

Answer 8

book java programming

Answer 9

Dont go for heavy books "Complete Reference" and "Sun Java Tutorial". They are good for reference like a dictionary but not for the beginner.

Whenever I have to learn a new technology, I go for a book like
"Learn Java in 24 hours" or "Learn Java in 21 days" to get a taste of the technology and then dig deep from there.

Java is huge and you will get frustrated if start with a huge book.

If you can afford go for the video trainings

BTW start with Standard Java first then more to Enterprise Java.

O'Reilly's "learning Java" by P. Niemeyer is pretty good and carefully written. There are zillions of Java books, but O"Reilly has the best selection, esp for beginners and the price is right.
