Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Java Book recommendations , plz
:D :D :D
Should I just shut up and get Eckel's 'Thinking in Java'? Other recommendations? I don't need to "learn" java really (got an 'A' in my class :)), but I need a good reference book, preferably one that does a good job of covering the Java Native Interface, the use of which is seemingly imminent for me. Thanks for any advice... :D or, hey, if you've got any links to online info aboot the JNI I'd appreciate those, too.

Dood... whenever I have questions about functions and stuff, I almost always use http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/index.html
I was intimidated by it at first, but after I understood how it works, I like it alot.

YES! :)

DOOOOOD! That's the home page for my browser. Except I've downloaded it locally so I always have it available. Another great link is the Java tutorial: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/index.html

The O'Reilly Book "Learning Java" is pretty good. I've been learning from that. I haven't read Eckel's "Thinking in Java," but I've heard that's really good too.

I learned Java using the Deitel & Deitel "Java how to program" book. It's a very expensive book and it covers mostly Java 2 and swing classes. It does have a lot of example code so you can use it as a reference book. I think that the Java API is the best Java reference.

I have a handful of java texts, but the only thing I use consistently as a reference is the API on java.sun.com.
Hey thanks for the replies.. Hmm. I guess I won't worry about it really for now. The only think I really need to figure out is JNI..
