Hi everyone

I was wondering, what is the best way to get  industry experience in java, as I'm in a non tech back ground.

Any advice will appreciated

The Well Grounded Java Developer is an awesome book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Well-Grounded-Java-Developer-programming/dp/1617290068/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1349703356&sr=8-1

It address points 1, 2, 4 and 5 very well. If you haven't done any Java before then I'd recommended reading some online tutorials and then trying this book to consolidate what you know.

Thanks,

Jim

I haven't read the Java one, but I've found the Head First books dead handy for getting your brain in the right place for learning things:

Hi All,

I am looking for recommendations for a java programming book. I know of plenty of books in programming and java but just thought to get opinions of others. It would be big advantage if the book is open source and free. 

Ideally I am looking for a book that is:

1. Interesting and fun to read.

2. Simple to understand, based on active learning approach, possibly with real life examples

3. Directed mainly towards people who are learning programming for the first time

4. Book should be as much about general programming concepts as it is about Java in particular.

5. There should be no prerequisites beyond a general familiarity with the ideas of computers and programs.

Thanks and Regards,

Ambi.
