Yeah Im gonna be a junior in High school next year and i plan to take AP Comp Sci 2 because i have already finished 1. Unfortunately, computer science completely changed from c++ to java. So does anyone know where i can get some basic tutorials on java programming and the compiler, etc? thanks
Theres so many but i dont know which ones the best for a complete beginner
It wont be hard for you to learn Java. I learned it in a matter of days because it is so similar to C++.
I suggest the book:
The Complete Reference: Java 2 by Schildt. I think the latest one is the Fifth Edition. It is very good.
And you can get it for only about $10 to $15 or so at Half Price Books!!!
The Deitel& Deitel: Programming in Java book is an excellent, all-over reference to the language, in my opinion.
For a complete beginner the Arnow and Weiss: Intro to Programming using Java is superb, I believe.
Bruce Eckel has a free Java book at his website.
