Answer 5

See what your goals are. Just to kill time? Java is fashionable? Become an expert in Java EE? Java SE? Write your own desktop program? Have a great time? Write a toy for a mobile phone? Java is vast, there are a lot of books on it, a lot of good ones.
I've been reading Monakhov, Java and the NetBeans Environment with little understanding of OOP. Everything is clearly stated, the book gives a general idea of ​​​​everything.

Answer 11

Thinking in Java is 2 times thicker, and this (IMHO) is due to water. If Java is not the first language, it doesn't make sense.

Answer 12

Oh, great question. Just started learning Java at the university.

Answer 13

View abstracts and presentations of the courses of the Academy of Modern Programming: "Object-oriented programming and the basics of the Java language" and "Professional programming in Java"

Answer 14

The Java Language Specification

Answer 15

It is also quite useful to include the javadocs API in your development environment.
For example, Eclipse/RAD, if online, by default climb to java.sun.com for help on Shift+F2. If offline, you can connect through the main settings to JREs in one fell swoop, or through the project settings library-by-library (for example, for non-JRE libraries).
And - API help is always at hand. Often more effective than books.

All these higher listed books, perhaps those who have not coded at all, will be complicated. And enough perseverance is required.
