Sorry if this has been asked before. I am new to the java world for the most part. I am teaching myself how to program using java. I do have some past programming experience though. I am currently learning with Sams, Programming with java in 24 hours book. Is there any other reccomended reading that you can suggest..Thanks in advance.
Get hold of a copy of
Core Java - Volume I - Fundamentals
by Cay S. Horstmann and Gary Cornell
in the Java series of Sun Microsystems Press , published by Prentice-Hall
Web : http://horstmann.com/corejava.html
I'll assure you this'll be the only book you'll need to learn J2SE completely. It covers everything with regard to Object Oriented Programming, Events and Callbacks, Swing AWT, I/O, Exceptions, Debugging and a whole lot more. I say so because this was the only book i used to learn it. Of course when you are done learning the basics you can head over to the Advanced volume, which covers areas like threading, networking, JDBC, Advanced Swing AWT etc etc.
