Thinking in Java 2nd Edition, Release 3 by Bruce Eckel. Updated: 17.XI.1999. Files: PDF version. HTML version. Word97 version. This is the Thinking in C++ approach applied to the Java language, except that the book doesn't expect you to know C or C++. In fact, even if you've only programmed in macro languages you should be able to tackle Java with this book. The primary emphasis is on the understanding of the language fundamentals, which are introduced a step at a time using small, simple examples. You're taught one feature at a time, and only when you understand the programming language are the abstract window toolkit and applets introduced.
