Java Programming Books Deitel : Java How to Program [Book Review ]

Xadmin 12 Comments

Being a programmer for quite some time, I feel that programming cannot be learned from books, what one needs is a sheer practice of solving problems in programming.  But there are few Java Programming books that make learning of Java interesting.  

Java How to Program is one of the Best Java Books. After reading this book I can say this is a Good Java book. Although There are Advanced Java Books  in the market but for a beginner this Java Text Book is an early guide.

Learning Java with the help of a book is a bit tough if you are a beginner and don’t have any previous programming experience. 

You need to have at least a basic knowledge of programming concepts. Before referring to any book, I would suggest you learn Java concepts from the internet.
