References

Here are some books that at some point I've found useful for Java programming.

  • Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition, by David Flanagan (O'Reilly).
    • A very handy reference that is indispensible to anyone seriously involved in Java
  • Thinking in Java, by Bruce Eckel (Prentice Hall)
    • Good treatment of object-oriented programming in the context of Java.  Pretty dense in parts, but very good. 
  • Core Java, Volumes I and II, by Cay S. Horstmann and Gary Cornell.
    • Written as something between a reference and a textbook.  Covers technical details more thoroughly than other books.
  • Design Patterns, by Erich Gamma et al.
    • A classic book on design philosophies in object-oriented programming.  Written with C++ in mind, but works just as well for application to Java
