Need a good core java book

As I am a beginer and I have a little bit knowledge of OOPs concepts, So any one suggest me a book which explains each concept of OOps with explanation and sufficent examples upto SWINGS and JDBC connections.

If you are a true beginner then I'd also recommend:
Nino, J. & Hosch, F. A. (2001) An Introduction to Programming and Object Orientated Design Using Java John Wiley and Sons.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0471354899/203-0474646-1863160
Although you'd probably be better with the more recent edition:
Nino, J. & Hosch, F. A. (2004) An Introduction to Programming and Object-Oriented Design Using Java: Java 5.0 Version. 2edn. John Wiley and Sons. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0471712272/

  • Program from Core Java book

    I am running Java using the latest download version (1.4.1_02, I think?) from Sun on Windows XP Pro.
    On page 25 of the book Core Java, there are instructions for running the Welcome program. The book says to first type "javac Welcome.java." This works fine because after doing this, I have a file Welcome.class. However, the next step is to type "java Welcome." When I do this, I get an error "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassFoundDefError: Welcome." The program Welcome comes with the CD that comes with the book, and I have only viewed it, I have not modified it in any way.
    I have downloaded the JDK several times, and I still get this same error, so I do not think the problem is with downloading.

    Thanks for the info. In line with this lame-ass Java
    crap, when I type in "java classpath .Welcome" after
    getting to the correct subdirectory, I get the message
    "Exception in thread "main"
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: classpath." Looks
    like I'm back to square one again! Nothing like a
    total shit book with lame-ass fucking directions.You mis-read or mis-typed. It is
    java -classpath . WelcomeThere is a space between each of these
    java
    -classpath
    Welcome

  • Good Beginning Java books

    I am a beginner in Java with a 15 yr background on IBM Mainframes using COBOL and found the following books excellent resources for the Beginner :
    1) Java2: A Beginners Guide by Herbert Schildt
    2) Learn to Program with Java by John Smiley
    With these 2 books and this website, I am sure all will be successful.

    Have you taken a look at the Java Tutorial on this site? I'd say that it was probably the best broad survey of Java available for someone coming from a procedural background. The tutorial is also available in book form, but suffers from the fact that it doesn't automatically update itself.

  • Core Java Book

    Hi,
    I want to revise all topics in Java, specially which are in the form of question/answers. i.e I don't want to revise as topics given in complete reference or any other book. I want the chapters which have question/answers in them.
    Thanks...
    R S

    why don't you just ask your teacher to give you an A without you doing any work because you're obviously brilliant and can't be bothered doing the work?

  • Good Java Books ?

    Does anybody know any Good Beginning Java books that they have read ?..I am taking the tutorial here, but also wanted to pickup a book on the subject. Remember, I am absolutely new to the language.

    Good afternoon...
    i thought i once saw a book title java for cobol programmers but i can't seem to find it at the local computer bookstore's website.
    anyways, try teach yourself java in 21 days, it worked for (and it took less than 21 days).
    problem with beginner books is that once you've gone through them they're pretty useless, you'll need an intermediate/advanced book as soon as you "know" java. try and borrow it, or have work buy a copy.

  • 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.

  • What is a good java book

    I am new to java. I had a class on it and the book we used in there was cumbersome and unorganized at best. I am wondering what other people have found are good books to help you get better at java. I need something that I can find answers to basic questions and also more advanced ones. If possible I'm looking for one that can also work like a reference book where if I need to know something specific that I can find that pretty quickly too.
    Is there such a thing out there? Or am I looking for the impossible? Please help... anyone?

    Core Java Fundamentals - ISBN - 0130471771
    Core Java Advanced features - ISBN - 0130927384
    These assume you know another object orientated language.
    The best refrence is the java documentation available at java.sun.com or it can be downloaded.

  • With what book did you first learn java? How good was the book?

    I was just curious what else was out there, although I'd like to think I've at least moved past the beginning stages.
    I started out with Douglas Bell and Mike Par's "Java for Students" required for my first class. It was a good beginning book I think, and relatively easy to use. Now I'm going to college at Michigan Technological University, and "using" Dave Poplawski's "Objects have class" (he's actually one of the faculty here) Maybe it's because I already did Java, but I just can't stand the book. It starts you out using some crappy Animator instead of extending applets. (I'm sure I could write a better program for this purpose)
    But hey, just chime in if you have an opinion, b/c I'm wondering what other people thought of the books you're "forced" to buy, or what's better outside of school.

    A basic Java Library
    Core Java - Cornell & Horstmann
    Sun Publishing 1996
    This was my first introduction to Java, not a great book, but good in its day, Sun has probably updated it.
    Exploring Java - Niemeyer & Peck
    O'Reilly 1997
    This is an excellent book for Java 1.1, now out of print, but I still use it as a reference for basic stuff. I'd recommend O'Reilly's "Heads up Java - Your Brain on Java" as a good modern substitute. I've taken a good look at this, its light, humorous and quite complete. Probably the best introduction at present.
    The Java Programming Language, Third Edition - Arnold, Gosling, & Holmes
    Sun, Addison Wesley 2000
    This is a must for reference
    Applied Java Patterns - Stelting & Massen
    Sun, Prentice Hall 2002
    Good for design issues, includes examples in Java of the GOF patterns
    Java Swing - Eckstein, Loy & Wood
    O'Reilly 1998
    If you do GUI stuff you really need this, there is a more recent 1.3 edition
    The Art of Computer Programming - Donald Knuth
    Addison Wesley 1969
    Not about Java, but it covers all the stuff that hasn't changed in 50 years. And all that's really changed is that computers get smaller, cheaper and faster, and the books get bigger, more expensive and slower.
    Java in a Nutshell Third Edition - Flanagan
    O'Reilly 1999
    The ultimate reference. This nut keeps getting bigger while the type gets smaller, the examples got pulled out into a separate book in the third edition, the forth is a coconut. You probably want the newest edition regardless of the size and price.
    Java Network Programming - Harold
    O'Reilly 2000
    Covers the basics of network programming in 1.3, doesn't cover NIO yet.
    There are lots of books on more esoteric topics, like J2EE patterns, JNI, JDBC, Java Beans, EJB, JSP, Servlets, J2ME and NIO. Only buy these if you need them. The API documentation is often all you need.

  • Whats a good JAVA book?

    What do you think is a good Java book for someone who has a little expericne with java? I have experience in COBOL and a little touch of C, and Visual Basic? Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Justin

    I would suggest Java: an Introduction to Computer Science and Programming by Walter Savitch. This book assumes that the reader has no programming experience and it's aimed at students. I realize that you do have experience with COBOL, but I would recommend this one over the Core Java series to start out. Core Java volumes 1 and 2 are not good as an introduction for someone coming from a non-object oriented language. They would be a lot better for someone migrating from C++. They frequently refer to C++ and VB in their examples. They are excellent books, but better as a reference than an initial learning source.

  • Java Book - Recommendations Needed.

    Recommendations for a good BEGINNERS book please.

    If you're completely new to programming then I'd suggest checking out some of the older books on first principles that they'll have available in your college library.
    This kind of foundation will massively reduce the learning curve for any language.
    Then hit the 2nd hand bookstores and find an earlier edition of one of the books mentioned above. All the marketing crap claiming that a new edition is completely updated is irrelevant to your needs. The core language has changed very little in about 6 years, (since the abortion that was the 1.0 event model was justifiably taken out behind the chemical sheds and shot), so anything 1.1 and onwards will suffice as long as you can get access to the errata pages on the web.
    Of course, the best approach is simply to use the free resources on this and other sites because the programming manuals aren't overly useful to students entering the field for the first time. I say this because you'll probably be looking at two types of task:
    1) Practical programming (probably so simplistic that you'll be able to solve with reference to the API docs)
    2) Theoretical stuff (Better to look to academic books, trade journals, etc.)
    Try:
    www.theserverside.com
    www.javaranch.com
    www.javaworld.com
    www.oreilly.com

  • Looking for a good beginner/intermediate Java book

    Hello everyone,
    I am looking for a good beginner/intermediate Java book. I have taken a couple of Java classes (Beginner programming + beginner Java) and have a fairly good understanding of the basics. What I want is a book that is going to build on that as well as give me some good practical problems to work on while I'm doing so. Can anyone recommend one or two good books that would fit the bill?
    Thanks!

    Those three books are all excellent, but are all beginner books. When it comes to intermediate books I think you need to go topic by topic.

  • Advanced java book needed

    i need a throrough java book to add to my collection which goes over the most advanced of java programming (reflection, polymorphism etc...) in hopefully one book which has clear examples. if you know of one please give me isbn or title/author id be so grateful. thanks!

    So many topics though!
    There is a book on Java thread ("Java Threads v2"?)
    There are several books on java optimization (like use StringBuffer instead of String)
    The Java Lang Spec 2 book.
    The Java Virtual Machine 2 book.
    The Java Native Inteface 2 book.
    I suspect the Sedgewick Algorithms book is good, unless you already have one for another language.
    There are some enterprise level books but no titles I can recall right now.
    And naturally there are books that apply to advanced java work like some of the design books (like the UML stuff.)

  • Just java 2 vs core java 2 (better book?)

    Just Java by Peter van der Linden
    or
    Core Java by Cay S. Horstmann
    Are there any strong opinions out there as to which one of the Java series books are better? They are both from Sun so I know their good but what do you guys think? I don't trust amazon critics :P

    Personally I don't like Manning, but othersswear
    by
    their publications.I like Manning. I'm reading "AspectJ In Action"now
    - very good.
    Maybe it's their typesetting I don't like, but I
    can't help the feeling that their books seem mostly
    amateurish and shallow.No, they've been pretty good to me. Spring, Hibernate, Lucene, etc. - all very good indeed.
    At least they've kept focus. O'Reilly has branched out, and I think they've hurt their reputation. Their "developer's notebook" series is pretty lightweight, from what I've seen of it.
    Mind I've not read a lot of their latest work, so
    maybe that's improved over the last few years.I think the recent stuff is rather good.

  • The "Core" series java book??

    okay folks!
    How do you rate the core series java book? are they good or bad? Why the font they use is so large??? I don't like large font books!

    well, the font may look smaller, but the book size is too big. I don't have enough shelf space.

  • Search advice for good ABAP-connect-Java Book

    Hi,
    I want to navigate a Java-application in SAP.
    The Java-application is a routing-software.
    The SAP-user (the planner/coodinator) should choose a
    customer and a worker/sales-person in an ABAP-application.
    So this the SAP-user plans, which sales person drives to
    which customer.
    The ABAP-application should give this information to the java-application
    which then plans the route! The user should not remark anything from
    the communication between abap- and java-application.
    Has anybody an idea with which technique I can realise the problem?
    Can anybody advice me a good manual or book concerning this topic?

    Hi,
        These are the recommended books for OO programming in ABAP.
