Question

Java

Hello.
I know and use C++, but I want to switch to Java. I have two options:

1. Herbert Schildt. Java: A Beginner's Guide.
   
2. Kay Horstmann and Gary Cornell. java".
   

What do you advise?

Answer 1

I think if you KNOW C++. Then you can read Herbert Schildt "Java Complete Guide". Good book in my opinion.

Answer 2

There is an opinion that starting from the second programming language, you need not read books for beginners, but documentation.
