"Best" Java book for noob/advanced?

Just Java 2 by Peter van der Linden and the Core Java series by Hortsmann and Cornell are my favorites. In my view, the latter being slightly more comprehensive with less toy-like examples.

I've used these:
- Beginning Java 2 by Horton to get started.
- The Java Programming Language by Gosling and others to understand the principles behind the language.
- Effective Java by Bloch to write better code.
- Java Thread Programming by Hyde because my program is composed of 3 self-running parts.

What's the best java book available?

Anyone knows any good, detail java book available out there for
beginer/intermediate level programmer? Greatly appreciated.

hi,
i would recommend Beginning Java 2 - SDK 1.4 Version, it's a good book for people starting off and moving to interm., the author covers the basics and more advanced topics later such as JDBC, working with XML and Java and Printing all in one book. Also half way through the book, once he starts talking about building GUI, he builds a small application, then for the next few chapters what ever is taught is also built into the app, the app he shows you how to build is something like ms paint. so he shows you not only how to write small programs but also building an application, i don't remember the size of it but i believe it was a few thousand lines long. he also builds a second app, smaller for working with databases later. the only problem is the size of the book and price, but if you have the time to read it, i'd recommend that one.

Best Java JRE for OS X 10.5.X?

Is there a recommended Java version for OS X 10.5.X?

Not really. If you have installed everything that Software Update has to offer, you have the best available, which I believe is Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_26 for 64-bit capable Intel-based Macs, from Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 10.
That's not a safe version, so best to leave it disabled in all your browsers except during the time you are on a web site that requires it, if you must, then disable it again.
Your only alternative is to upgrade your OS to 10.6.8 or above.

Best training book for iWeb

Go to do a new website for first time in 15 years. Did last one in straight HTML. Used a "Learn HTML in 7 Days" book. Hopefully iWeb will make this second foray easier.
Any recommendations for good books for teaching iWeb (beyond the basics). I want to get past just posting pictures and movies. I want to be able to have pages where I post downloadable Word docs etc.
Also if I do basics in iWeb can I then take that code an modify / enhance in another web design program.
Thanks,
Alan

The vast majority of 'code'/features you'd use completely differently in another program or with another system. It's not really transferable knowledge, though you might pick up a couple of things. But if you've already learned HTML I'm sure you'll have no problems.
Posting downloadable Word docs is very simple. In fact, everything in iWeb is pretty simple providing it has the functionality available. (That said, allowing someone to download a Word doc in straight HTML is also very simple - just upload it to your server and create a hyperlink for visitors to download your doc).
Don't waste money on a book for web design. Ever. Everything you could possibly need is available on the Internet for free in an easier format, often with the ability to ask questions, and constantly being updated. Any book you buy will be at least a year behind.

Best/Worst Labview Book for Beginner/Advanced/Good Reference

I saw a few other posts like this one but they were not very informative.
I thought I'd start this thread so everyone can voice thier opinion on what the best/worst Labview Reference is so that beginners (like me) and people just seeking information can know what to, and more importantly what NOT to buy.
List the good/bad points about the book like:
Does it teach good coding style?
Is it a good reference when you are done reading it?
How are the examples in it?
Is it easy to understand?
Things of that nature...
Again I'm sorry for kind of reposting this question but like I said, the other posts just give a list of LV books and not any information about them, not even if they are worth reading. It just looked like a listing from a search on Amazon.

LabView 7.1, Windows XP

Some other users recommended recently the book "LABVIEW Graphical Programming -- Practical Applications in Instrumentation and Control" by Gary W. Johnson. I haven't read it myself. This site has a big knowledgebase with many tutorials and examples, many of them many good, but they are usually topic specific and do not work as a course.
You should try to reread the manual in a few months. After you have gained some experience it is much easier to read and you will find it has some very interesting stuff.
As a side point, most people on this site do not get paid for doing this. Only those with blue names are from NI. The rest of us do this as a personal basis for several reasons: We like to help people, there are some very interesting things which can be learned from being around here and it's usually just plain fun (try looking at the BreakPoint. If you appreciate it, why not come back when you have more experience and help others?

A good Java book for beginners?

Hello
I am new to Java language. This year I will go in university (computer science major) so I thought I could study a bit during the summer. So I have choosen to learn the basics (or more) of the Java language. I dont know any other programming languages (So I am completely new to programming too).
I would like to know which is the best online-downloadable book with which I could start to learn the basics of Java (using the Sun's SDK or Borland's JBuilder Personal)? Any suggestion would be appreciated.
P.S. Is it good to learn programming using Java as the first language? A friend of mine told me that is better to start with C, then continue with Java.

Everyone will say that the language they first learnt is the language you should start off with. Java is a good as any language to start with. Whether to by a book or use an online tutorial depends on you.
Online tutorial are up-to-date, but require a good internet connection and plenty of access to a computer.
Books can be carried around (read in bed etc.) but learning about computers away from a computer is weird.
A good book (to download in PDF or buy in a shop) is "Thinking in Java" by Bruce Eckel. It takes you from beginner to expert, in only 1,125 pages!!
If that's not your thing, try the sun tutorials, links on your left.
good luck

The best reference book for Dreamweaver CS6

Hello all:
I'm teaching myself Dreamweaver CS6 through videos. I haven't worked on Dreamweaver for many, many years. The version I learned was Macramedia Dreamweaver 4 - so that tells you how long it's been!
Please, could any of you all recommend a good referance guide. Not a tutorial book. Just something I can refer to when I get stuck.
Thanks if you can help!

Unfortunately, there's no simple answer to this. CS6 Perpetual License is different from CS6 Creative Cloud. New feature enhancements are being added to the Cloud software on a regular basis. Whereas Perpetual License users do not get these major upgrades until they actually upgrade to CS7.
Whichever product you use, learn all you can about modern HTML and CSS first. This is required knowledge & it will make learning to work with DW much easier.

Why do you expect us to create duplicate replies, replying to you, when we know they already exist in these forums?There seems to be a strange believe in many people asking this kind of question that "personal opinions" are somehow more useful if they are posted in response to a newly posted question and not posted in response to another identically phrased question.
Or, they could simply be egocentrical douche bags who don't care if they ask the same question that's already been asked a thousand times before.

Best beginner book for Oracle Application Express?

Hello Dear members,
I've got 12 years of experience developing Oracle applications using Oracle Forms and PL/SQL, that bit I'm an expert.
But I'm torn between which book to buy to learn Oracle Application Express.
The Expert Oracle Application Express vs Oracle Apex Cookbook is my main competition.
I'm already doing the 2 day Developer guide, but want to go in a bit deeper.
All of your suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Ravi

Ravi,
If you are not at all familiar with Application Express i would reccomend getting Beginning Oracle Application Express 4 because you will find that Pro Oracle Application Express 4, Second Edition, Expert Oracle Application Express and Oracle Apex Cookbook assume you have more of an unserstanding and some parts wont make sense. I had friend of mine get an advanced book and then immediately go back and get the beginner book because it just didnt have much meaning to him.
Thanks,
Tyson Jouglet

What's the best Java technology for web development?

I'm very new to J2EE (only worked with J2SE before), and I'm interested in how it works. I understand that JSP pages are somewhat similar to PHP scripts, etc... My question is, what should I be learning about if I want to write a website using Java?
Thanks.

I'm very new to J2EE (only worked with J2SE before),
and I'm interested in how it works.
I understand that JSP pages are somewhat similar to PHP scripts,
etc... I don't think that's true, but I'll admit to not being a PHP user.
My question is, what should I be learning
about if I want to write a website using Java?You'll have to know:
servlet engine like Tomcat or a Java EE app server like JBOSS or WebLogic
HTML (this isn't Java per se)
JSP or Velocity or Freemarker (template technologies)
JSTL
servlets
JavaScript (this isn't Java per se)
Depending on what you want your web site to do, you'll have to know JDBC and SQL and relational databases if you have persistent data.
There are a lot of frameworks available for web apps. Google for a list, but the ones you'll hear come up most often are Struts, WebWork, and Java Server Faces.
Spring has a Web MVC framework and lots more. It would be worth a serious look.
