Recommendations for Book on Learning Java on Mac OS X Tiger?

Can anyone recommend a book title or two on Learning Java on Mac OS X Tiger? A generic learn-java-book is fine -- it just has to not be Windows-only. ie. the examples or included CD should at least include instructions for running the examples on a JAVA IDE available for other platforms such as Mac OS X (e.g. Eclipse).
Thanks in advance,
...ben
PS. Wish Dave Mark had a Java version of his classic: Learn C on the Macintosh

PB G4 15 1.67 GHz, iBook SE 0.47 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

Just download eclipse and do sun's java tutorials. They're very well written and cover pretty much anything you need to do with Java.

  • Recommendation for Book To Learn Photoshop CS3

    I have had Photoshop CS3 for a while now and I still feel like a beginner.Can you recommend a book that would teach me how to edit photos to improve lighting etc. I don't like learning from video programs because you can't look back to revise techniques easily enough.The trouble is I don't use PS often enough to get very good at it so I need to be able to refer to instructions easily. I don't need a complete beginner book but I do need something that isn't full of technical jargon. Can you recommend anything?

    Quite a few people recommend the classroom in a book series from Adobe. A search on Amazon will provide you with a whole slew of books to choose from. If you scroll the page down far enough you will see comments left by people on their thoughts of the books. Even though you search on Amazon does not mean you have to purchase from them.
    Problem with books is trying to read and do at the same time while keeping your page. I really recommend videos since it is so simple to just drag the timeline back to the point you were stuck at.

  • Any Great newbie books to learn java - Any Recommendations ???

    Hi, my name is Chris and I know a little about web design and I want to learn java but I know nothing about programming and I would like anyone here to recommend a decend book for a complete newbie in programming to be about to get alot of a that book. I am really interested in java right now and if anyone has any great forums to learn also besides this one , that will be great.
    Thanks
    Chris :-)

    http://chortle.ccsu.edu/java5/cs151java.html#50As always i wouldn't suggest this website you have mentioned. The order in which the topics are covered is not conducive to good learning. You see the chapter in exceptions is dealt at the end!
    I would suggest Thinking In Java.

    A Quicktime plugin update is recommended for FF 3.6.4 but for mac os 10.4 there is no new version? My current Qt-version is 7.6.4 am I missing something?
    == When I updateted to FF 3.6.4

    Does this only occur with 10.6.8?  I just gave this a try on my 10.8.3 system with AIR 3.6 but couldn't reproduce the crash on quit.  However, I also was unable to log into the application due to lack of credentials.  Could you please open a bug on this over at bugbase.adobe.com?  If we need to log in to reproduce the bug, please send any test credentials to [email protected]  Once the bug has been entered, please let me know the bug number so I can attach the symbolicated crash log to the bug report.

  • New user of Final Cut Express - recommendation for book, resource, training

    I am a new user of Final Cut Express 4. Actually, I'm a new user of Mac too. I mastered Pinnacle on my PC but got fed up with the glitches, freezing etc.
    Could use some advice on a good BEGINNER resource.
    Anyone???

    Hi and welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Since FCE has a relatively steep learning curve, I would recommend getting one of two training books:
    1. [Final Cut Express 4 Editing Workshop|http://www.amazon.com/Final-Cut-Express-Editing-Workshop/dp/0240810775 /ref=sr12?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240436986&sr=8-2] by Tom Wolsky. This is how I learned the program and I can assure you that it is a comprehensive guide with everything from basic to more advanced techniques. I highly recommend it. Tom is a frequent contributor to this forum, so if you had any questions about a lesson then he'd be here to help you out.
    2. [Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Express 4|http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Pro-Training-Final-Express/dp/0321534670/ref=sr14?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240437118&sr=8-4] by Diana Weynand. Though I can't vouch for it personally, I have heard from many people who were pleased with their experience learning from this book, and I'm sure it is quite good also.
    There are also several good sites I've visited with free tutorials that you might like to check out:

  • What do you recommend for me: MacBook Pro, iMac or Mac Pro?

    I haven't decided what Mac I should buy. It's pretty hard for me. I'm fascinated with the iMac, MacBook Pro and Mac Pro. But I'm not sure what Mac is good for me. For now, I use my laptop for web browsing, sometimes photoshop and writing stories on notepad. But I'll probably do more later on such as developing 2D games and making music on GarageBand. I might make my own website with podcasts and possibly take advantage of Mac OS X's DVD creation software. I will also dual boot (Windows & Mac OS X which I'll use the most) and play games on it.
    Money isn't a real problem. I only have $1,000 at the moment. But I'm going to get a job soon. I won't buy a Mac until the job is stable.
    I don't know what to buy and not sure which one is the best for me. I like all 3 of them! I really like portability because I can take it anywhere. But I already have a notebook (not a Mac). I need a Mac that will last me a couple of years. Again, I'm afraid that newer stuff will come out and my computer will be inferior. lol.
    So I'm hoping someone can help me come up with a decision. You guys/gals know more about computers than me. I'm new to Macs too. I became interested in Macs last year when I saw the Power Mac G5. I thought the tower looked awesome and then I started playing around with it.

    I've never had an iMac wear out. My last one lasted four years and the guy who bought it from me on eBay reports that his is doing fine. It got HEAVY use in a dusty environment.
    And Apple has been refining the iMac for years now. I keep hearing you emphasize durability, so that is why I am pushing it for you. No laptop will last as long. They operate at higher temperatures and take a beating. My Mac Book Pro already lost its back-lighting and has something wrong with the DVD eject feature. All repairable for free with Applecare, which I recommend. But my iMac will outlast my desire to own it, this I know for certain. I have the 20 inch and wish I had gotten the 24. If you're interested in my new 20", I will sell it to you for 1/3 off what I paid for it, and it comes with a transferable 3 year Applecare warranty. This way I could purchase the 24". It hadn't come out when I got the 20".
    But first, come to the conclusion that you don't need an Apple laptop. That's the threshold decision.
    Best of luck to you.

  • Need tablet recommendation for use with CS6 and a Mac Mini

    Hello all,
    I'm running CS6 on a Mac MIni with OS X 10.8.3.  I want to start learning graphic design entry on Illustrator and Photoshop and all I've read indicates use of a tablet is de rigueur.  Can anyone recommend a medium to top-end tablet that is compatible with the Mac Mini and CS6?  Apple's site only shows the Wacom Bamboo Splash tablet but doesn't give any hint whether it would work with the Adobe tools.
    Thanks,
    Kevin H.

    Actually it depends on how you like to work and what exactly you're after.
    Illustrator can be used with a mouse only when you do just construction work, like using the shape tools, the pen tool, pathfinder functions, transformations and all those other tools that serve the need for exact results.
    In case you'd like to draw stuff intuitively like doing water color, calligraphy,  sketching then you would definitely need a tablet.
    A tablet can also replace a mouse in case you want to reduce a strain on your hand, arm and fingers. Some people prefer styluses in this case.
    Is any of these the case for you?

  • Internal BluRay burner recommendations for Snow Leopard on a new Mac Pro?

    We're finally getting new Mac Pro's...hallelujah!! I was just wondering if anyone out there could recommend a good internal BluRay burner that will be compatible with the Intel Quad Core, Snow Leopard, and FCP7. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Melanie
    Hi Melanie
    Why does it have to be an internal Blu-ray drive? How many computers are you getting?
    I would recommend purchasing the OWC Mercury Pro FireWire 800/400, eSata, USB 2.0 SATA 5.25 Case Kit and choosing your own SATA Blu-ray burner to install in the case. That way you can connect it to just about any MacPro, MacBook Or even a PC if necessary.
    Here is a link:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MRSFW8U2/
    Or if you don't want to build your own, OWC has several that they have built for you but I haven't been keeping up with any other them enough to recommend a specific Blu-ray burner. In any case, here are a couple likes.

  • Recommendations for a Scanner that works with Mac OS 10.6.4

    Hi: I bought my first iMac back in February 2010 and have really been enjoying it. However, I would like to know a good scanner to scan mostly pictures. Any recommendations are welcome.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    Any Scanner that supports TWAIN should work fine. Look for that when reviewing scanners. I have an HP multifunction printer that has a scanner and that works fine for me. Although if you are looking for a photo scanner then there are others perhaps better suited for the task out there.
    Here is a nice list of reviews: http://www.macworld.com/products/input_devices/scanners.html

  • I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7.  Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010?

    I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7.  Quicbooks Pro 2010 is not responding or opening currently. Quickbooks does not support Parallels anymore.  I hear Apple Bootcamp is an opton.  Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010 on Mac?

    QuickBooks Pro 2010 for Mac is not supported in Lion. QB Pro 2011 will work, but I just got an email today that 2011 will not be updated to work in Mountain Lion. QB Pro 2012 will be updated for ML.
    Be aware that the Mac version of QuickBooks is shamefully lacking in features compared to the Windows version. I do use the Mac version, but it has more features than I need for a small business, so it doesn't affect me. No one knows why Intuit seems to hate Mac users, but they show it every day.
    If QB Pro 2012 for Mac can be downloaded as a demo, I would strongly suggest testing with it before making a final decision. You will be able to import the Windows data, but possibly not all of it, depending on the Windows version features you use.
    Boot Camp allows you to install Windows on its own, bootable partition. When you boot to it, you are of course running Windows in every sense of the word. Just on Mac hardware rather than typical PC gear. Your Windows version of QB will work there without issue. The problem is having to boot back and forth between Windows and OS X, depending on what software it is you need to use at the time.

  • I need a recommendation for a selectable list/webrowser

    Ok, so I'm trying to make a swing object that has a selectable list...so when you select an item, it will copy some text to a text box, but if you double click it, it will go to a web page. I also need a back button that goes back to the list...does anyone have any recommendations?

  • Java.crypto.Mac usage related to concurrency

    My first question is:
    Can I allow multiple threads to use the same instance of java.crypto.Mac concurrently? In other words, for example, is the java.crypto.Mac.doFinal(byte[] input) method thread safe?
    If the answer is no, then my second question is:
    If I have one separate instance of java.crypto.Mac per thead, in order to reuse the instance within a thread, do I have to call init(Key key) method every time before calling doFinal(byte[] input), even if the key value is always the same? I am asking this because we saw init method may introduce some overhead and we want to know whether we can avoid calling init again and again.
    Thanks a lot!
    John F

    1.The javadocs don't say, so I guess you have to assume it is not thread-safe.
    2. The javadocs do answer this, so read them.

  • Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz

    Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz
    I am using os x 10.4.11.
    Do I need to upgrade to 10.5.xx? Will this platform suport 10.6.xx? If 10.6 will work do I need to install 10.5 first?
    Thanks...

    Hi. Your computer can be upgraded to either Leopard 10.5 or Snow Leopard 10.6. 10.6 will be much easier to find and will be less expensive. Leopard is not required prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard.

  • Needed: Book(s) recommendations for beginner, needing to come up to speed for complexity quickly

    Hello all,
    I've been kind of thrown into the need to learn LV quickly. I've gone through the LV 101 videos, and got a decent start....but need to learn more in-depth quickly. I'm looking maybe for a book on amazon, that will get me as a noob started quickly...but also, something needed beyond just the basics of trying to explain the concept of the front panel and block diagram screens....
    I'm needing to get into learning how to wire up things like even structures...being able to allow the user to right click an object on the screen, present a drop down menu, and change the object based on their selection. I've posted here before looking how to do multi-colored indicators..and starting to get a grip on some of that, but still not yet...
    I'm looking at an example of an older version of the app I'm trying to create and improve on...and see how they were changing  a boolean indicator (they used a round one, but was flat unlike the LED shaped ones)..but they were able to change the colors of the text and control with three different background and text combinations both when it was clicked, and programatically when a trigger was pressed...etc.
    I'm seeing a structure they used called a "property node" and using colors under that to change it, it appears....I need to learn to understand that....but the application I have is a bit complex for me to track and figure out everything as it flows....
    I thought I'd seen a recommendation for a book on this forum called: Labview for Everyone...but that is dated 2006...would this be too old since I'm working with LabView 2011?
    Anyway, I'm looking through all the stuff in the NI site's Knowledgebase....but think getting a quality book that is a bit structured taking me from basics to more complex things would be the best way for me to learn and organize my thoughts.
    I've programmed (awhile back) with Delphi for Object Pascal...and some java with Eclipse. But with Delphi, I have worked with an IDE...putting object on a screen, and then setting and programming properties...but LV is a bit different, and I'm just not familiar with all the objects available to me..and the graphical programming rather than writing code in there to handle things..is a bit new to me.
    Anyway, hoping ya'll can give me some good book recommendations...and any links to web info greatly appreciated too.
    Thank you in advance!!

    cayenne,
    without giving any special suggestion, i want to point out:
    Even "out dated" books can give you valuable information since the programming paradigm of LabVIEW (dataflow) is still valid.
    Ok, we have to admit that information on certain elements as well as esp. performance might not be true because of the changes LV had undergone over the years (e.g. compiler changes in LV 2009/2010).
    Adding to this, i urge you not only to look for technical expertise but also on "how do i approach a development task". I find this link a helpful source for this.
    hope this helps,
    Norbert
    Thank you for the reply. I'm looking at the link and it looks informative.
    I went ahead and bought the book LabView for everyone. One thing however, I read in one review, that the book is light on the topic of event driven vi''s......which is something I'm definitiely needing information on....simple examples would be even better.
    Any links or book recommendations on this particular topic?
    Thank you,
