Where do you study Java From?

I learned java from the book 'The Complete reference to java'. It was good. I never read the book "Head First JAVA" by Kathy Sierra. Can it be read online or be downloaded from some where? It would be good then. I will brush up my knowledge. There was anothere book called 'Thinking in Java' and I remember reading from it too. But it has been many years now and many new books must be available in the market now. But i would definitely try reading "Head First JAVA" by Kathy Sierra. I am very inquisitive.

I've heard nothing but good things about Head First Java. I was taught Java at university and don't remember the book I used. But if you are after "what to do next" type books I would recommend The Pragmatic Programmers starter kit. [http://www.pragprog.com/categories/starter_kit ]. Automation, version control and unit testing are skills that no developer can go without, and the Pragmatic Programmers starter kit are short well written introductions to these important skills.

hello razor way back in my college years i just learned java from a borrowed books in the library and i don't know about the title of the either the author cause i am really excited about the content.. and after that subject never had a time to pursue java.. are a java developer now?

hi For the bigginers "The Complete reference to java"book is better one. one you finishing reading on this next we will move to "head first to java".you start on "head first" not leaning anything.But my opnoin "Head First" series is best one in entier java books.knowing something in java otherwise read that book

Kathy Sierra is a brilliant author and her book is very good as well.' Another author you can refer is Khaled Mughal. I feel his book is absolutely brilliant for beginners. Other than that the beginner book i have refered is The complete reference for java 2.0 The above three should be more than sufficient for any java beginner and have worked for me in the past.
