You may often wonder what is the best book for beginners who just started to learn Java. You might have come across book which is too hard to understand and at the end you don't even have a clue what the book is talking about. I have some suggestion on what book is best for newbies. There are two books that I would recommend you. The name of the book is Java How To Program, sixth edition,by Harvey&Paul and Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Problem Design by D.S. Malik. I had used this books before.
There are differences between the two books. The book written by D.S. Malik provide examples that is similar to his C++ book. Therefore, for those who have been using his C++ programming book to refer to before will not find any differences in this book. Even by that, the fact that this book provide in-depth and easy-to-learn explanation of the programming basic. If you are new to the programming world this book is the right choice for you. The example provided by the book is also simple and basic, but on the other hand, it is too simple and basic that it comes to a part where even a simple component like JSlider* component example is not provided in this book.
On the other hand, The Harvey&Paul book provide an in-depth explanation of its example. There are a lot of component explanation and example in this book compare to the D.S. Malik book. This book however, is not suitable for people who have no knowledge in programming basic. As its explanation in the programming basic is somehow difficult to understand for me. It is suitable who are new to the Java language and have a basic in programming.
