I learned Java from "Thinking in Java" by Bruce Eckel.
You used to be able to read the whole thing from the web - this was some =
time ago, but he seems to still have a website and the book is =
downloadable (not sure if free - it was when I acquired it - I then went =
out and purchased it, because for real reading I prefer paper). I was =
learning programming at the time, so I don't know how good it is from =
the point of view of a non-programmer. He did kind of take you by the =
hand and lead you gently through the woods, which was good for me.
If you feel like venturing into actually running code, you can download =
the Java SDK for free from the Sun site.

Subject: atw: JAVA (for this dummy)
I need to add Java recognition skills to my repertoire in preparation =
for
writing/editing comments in APIs. (Application Programming Interface). =
Is
anyone familiar with the Java tutorials at http://www.joegrip.com? Are
they worth a go?=20
I'm also considering two books: Java for Dummies and Java Programming =
for
Dummies. Whilst I realize that Java for Dummies is more about using =
other
people's Java and not about programming, reviews have claimed that it is =
a
good way to get your feet wet as a complete newbie to Java (or =
programming
in general) and that it is also well written and easy to follow. =20
Any comments or suggestions?
