Suggestion on Java Book

Hi! I studied Java about 2-3 yrs ago and I just need to refresh my memory about the language so does anyone have suggestions about which book to buy? I just need a Java book that would refresh my memory and if possible, update me on the latest information and news about java. Thank you very much!

i think he means that a lot of people have asked the same question before, and you should do a search on the forums for an answer.
But really, if you're looking for a good book you can't go past Core Java 2 (Vol 1 & 2), by Horstmann and Cornell, from the Sun Microsystems Press. Vol 1 covers all the fundamentals and is a great reference. Vol 2 goes into more detail on advanced topics: multithreading, networking, advanced swing and awt etc, both come with a CD that has heaps of code samples.
They are a bit expensive (over $Aus 100 each) but more than worth it.

(More expense then many, $72 I think, in a college textbook format, very thorough, MANY examples including a elevator animation that is kind of fun)
The "Core Java" series from Sun, many books in the series over the functional topics... these make a pretty good reference, too.
You can't beat the price for the On-Line Tutorial (previously mentioned by Porta-Bill) that Sun provides... there's a lot to get your feet wet there...
An on-line, downloadable, free tutorial called "Thinking In Java". I don't recall the web-site but you should find it easily with whatever search engine you use.
Enjoy!

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 compiler contradicts Java book

NOW this is a big surprise...One of the Java book says "If a static member of the class, singleton in the ex below, is PUBLIC, the client (HelloUser in this case) can still access the static member even if the client is not in the same package" . I tried it but got the following error - singleton can't be accessed outside the package ? Any clues ?
import learn.*;
public class HelloUser {
    public static void main(String args[])
     Object obj[] = {new Integer(11), new Character('A')};
     Hello.print(obj);
     singleton.GetSingleton().print();
package learn;
class singleton {
    private static int mX;
    private singleton(int x) {mX = x;}
    private static singleton sSingle = new singleton(10);;
    public static singleton GetSingleton() {
     print();
     return sSingle;
    public static void print()
     System.out.println("Val: " + mX);
}

No, the book is not wrong just not quite complete. It should have stated that other classes in the same package have access ...OK, let's complete the original statement using your suggestion :
An object of a class with package access can be created by any class inside the package but not outside the package. However, if a static member of that class is public, the client programmer can still access that static member from withn the same package even though they can't create an object of that class.
Does this make any sense? No.

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.

Java book/ebook or training site with examples

Hello,
I need to improve myself on java basics, got a few books which explain a lot, however they don't have any examples. What I need is a book or tutorial_site which first introduces a topic then asks the reader to experience it on various examples to see different aspects.
Thank you.

Just a side note:
If you haven't already done so, I suggest your next step is to download the Eclipse IDE and get familiar with it (its free and used by a very large number of professional developers). You can create projects within it. However, I suggest you first create a few code samples from your introductory Java book using a text editor and compile using the DOS command window before moving onto an IDE so you can appreciate what it does for you.

Java books/reading over Christmas?

The last post got me thinking... Is there any Java book you'd like to get your hands on? (Santa, are you using Echelon to snoop? Filthy Rich Clients, please) Or will you be using the time to (re)read a book that's been sitting on the shelf? Or would you like to nominate the best new Java book of 2007? What are people reading?

I'll be reading my first Java book, which is "Java in a Nutshell" by o'Reilly. Really? That's pretty much like printing out the javadocs for the entire JDK and reading those.
I used to have a copy of it when I first started with Java, but now I find that the on-line stuff is more convenient and up to date.
I like it so far. I'm coming from C/C++ so I haven't had any difficulties understanding any of the syntax used. I hope to finish this 1224 page monster by Christmas or the first week after.I would not consider that to be a good tutorial or first book to read. Who suggested that?
Bruce Eckel's "Thinking In Java" is a much better choice. It's free and available on-line. Google for it. (He also has a "Thinking in C++", which you might like.)

Java Book Recommendation?

Hi,
I work a lot with scientific computation: reading in data, working with mathematical models, etc.
However, I can't find a Java book that tackles those aspects in depth.
Does anyone know of a good book on this topic?
Regards,
-mike

I am sorry you feel that way about my questions! For example, in scientific computing, we work a lot with differential equations, Fourier transforms and so on. I can of course, write a program that will do those computations from scratch - which would take a lot of time! Or, what if there was a Java package that do these calculations? By having a book which focuses on these issues, one can save a lot of time! So, I believe you may have misunderstood my questions.
That's a different question.
Of course there exist libraries to aid in scientific and engineering computing.
Can't give you names as I'm not (sadly) into that field any more, but I do know they exist.
There are a few books that deal with Java and Scientific Computing that I found. These books prove that the questions that I posed here are relevant, and not a way of "give me the source" that you mentioned. Most people who replied to my questions were very polite as I have been - politeness is definitely an attitude that is much appreciated here!
Most such questions are from schoolkids who don't want to put in their own effort but just want to copy and paste sourcecode and turn it in as their own for their homework assignments.
That's how yours was understood to be as well.
Here is a list of the books I found:
- A Numerical Library in Java for Scientists and Engineers by Hang T. Lau
- Java for Scientists and Engineers (2nd Edition) by Stephen J. Chapman
- Essential Java for Scientists and Engineers by Brian Hahn
- Java Programming for Engineers by Julio Sanchez and Maria P. Canton
- Java Gently for Engineers and Scientists by Judith Bishop and Nigel Bishop
- Java for Engineers and Scientists by Gary J. Bronson
This is definitely a great list for people who want to apply Java in Science and Engineering.
May look at some, especially the first :)

Suggest a good book for learning?

Hey, all.
Trying to get into the automating/scripting thing as I've started a new job that has to do a lot of versions of similar animations/illustrations. I'm no programmer, but have had some success with simple AppleScripts in Illustrator and Photoshop, but After Effects doesn't like to play nice with AS. So I figure I may as well focus my efforts on ExtendScript/JavaScript to work with all the apps, be cross-platform, plus help with my limited Expressions knowledge.
So can anyone suggest some good books for learning the JavaScript language? I've done online tutorials, which have helped a little, but just a big ol' consolidated JavaScript book, teaching the structure and syntax from the beginning (again, not a programmer by trade) would be best for me. Thing is, 95% of the books I've looked at are focused on web design, which I'm not that interested in. I'll use one if the core JavaScript teachings are well-presented and I can just ignore the web stuff; just don't want to buy a book that I'm only going to read half of and not learn everything I need to.
All suggestions welcome, and thanks in advance.

Hi there - lots of resources...
Look up "eloquent javascript" online for a pdf.
Javascript - The Definitive guide
NewThinkTank on youtube
Codeacademy
Then it's the scripting guide for the other half.
