I want to learn Java because I want to program for the Android but don't know the best place to look. Where did you go.

Answer 1

Maybe http://java.sun.com/new2java/gettingstarted.jsp?

Answer 2

How about just Sun's own Java tutorials? Scroll a bit down and check the Trails Covering the Basics. If you prefer a book more, then I can recommend the Head First Java.

Answer 3

Here is a list of books on java: http://search.oreilly.com/?q=java, including:

• Head First Java, 2nd Edition
• Learning Java, 3rd Edition

and more ...

Answer 4

I have a personal preference to the Deitel Books, they present examples in close proximity to concepts giving an illustrative view into the java language

Answer 5

if you are looking to learn java go to:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkMDCCdjyW8&feature=SeriesPlayList&p=84A56BC7F4A1F852 Its a lecture series from Standford U. on java. The prof is pretty good and it will give you a very good start with java and some of its basics. The only bad thing is before you go there, know how to start a java program in (ie static void main etc). Then you can do all the examples in Eclipse.

Answer 6
