Textbooks
Required:
Head First Java, Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates (second edition, OReilly, 2005) , This Book is aimed at an introductory audience but covers advanced Java topics as well Students in recent offerings of CS61B (where book is also used...) have responded well to it. Buy it at book store

Recommended: Objects to Components with the Java Platform, Art Gittleman (Scott/Jones 2000). This book assumes that the reader has programmed in C or C++. Gittlemans explainations are more concise than those of Bell and Parr. He also includes some material outside the scope of 9G: The Unified Modeling Language used for object-oriented design, uses of Java for networking and data base applications, and Java "Beans" (higher level components for building programs) The Gittlman book may prove more useful for your subsequent Java Programming. Buy it at a book store.
