Best Java books ...

So, /prog/,

I have significant experience with C, C++, and Python, and am now delving into Java. What books would you reccomend for learning it? I usually like the O'Reilly books for programming topics, but if you have a different opinion, please post it.

You should obviously read KILL YOURSELF NOW

Less of this.

If you had significant experience with any language you'd have learnt not to ask stupid questions by now.

I disprove of this thread but will bump it anyway because I want all my anonymous friends to know that I (anonymously) don't read books because books are for people who read.
U NO MAN ROFL

Also, who's up for a book burning?

You're a moron, and you need to go the fuck back to /pr/. Nobody is taking issue with books.

Back to /xkcd/, please.

Just read the JAVA doc SUN itself (or is it ORACLE now?!) provides.


I know most people will turn you downs saying it's hard to comprehend but that's just a bunch of bullcrap.

It's easy to follow and it won't enter in unnecessary complications.

Only thing missing is some OOp paradigms that might come in handy.

I wonder how the heck you use the web with such a displeasure for reading?

Don't change these.
