Does anyone have some java book recommendations that are at like a beginner-medium difficulty? I know I can learn online but I really don’t like staring at a computer screen all day long. Thanks!
my thoughts exactly. Especially since you’ve been around these forums for almost half a year.
I’ve been studying for the Java Associate Certification test, using some software by Enthuware. One of the chapters they linked to, for background help with a topic, was “Java in a Nutshell.”
I was impressed. I like that it is no frills, no cuteness, no drama, just succinct and well written explanations. It seems like it will make a good reference, too.
And it doesn’t weigh 15 pounds and cost 150$ (both numbers are exaggerations) like the two volume “Core Java” by Horstmann, my other recommendation–but books that size just make me want to go back to reading online. It would be nice if someone invented a book spine with detachable segments so you could just take the chapter you are interested in.
