Re: Best book for Java newbies

all 3 books you asked about are terrible.
Sorry, but that's the long and short of it.

This is by far the best introductory text on Java: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/hfjava2/

This one is also very good: http://www.amazon.com/Agile-Java-TM-...e=UTF8&s=books

Anything else is IMO a waste of money and time if you seriously want to learn.

Re: Best book for Java newbies

Thanks a lot,

I think I will take this one:
Head First Java, Second Edition

Comment:
This is a most stupid book Ive ever seen, but I like it. Less code, more stupid text.
