BloodFlavor Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I'm looking to program Java, I know most basic's and I am not completely new to Java. However I am no where near good at it. I am wanting to study more and learn more, and have been watching alot of thenewBoston videos. However, I want to take the learning process even further by studying with not just videos, but books and paper. What is a well suggested book to help me get to coding my own scripts?

TheSaint Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Java: How to Program by Deitel. Starts from the beginning, goes up to multi-threading and TCP/IP protocols and such. Tons of clean, well commented code, with projects that add new material as you progress through the chapters. Every chapter, at the end, has optional lessons over GUI (there is a dedicated chapter to it), wrap-ups, and quizzes with answers. Also will teach you UML and some very basic software engineering principles. Edited January 20, 2014 by TheSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
