Big Java: Compatible with Java 5, 6 and 7

by Cay S. Horstmann

This book introduces programmers to objects at a gradual pace. The syntax boxes are revised to show typical code examples rather than abstract notation. This includes optional example modules using Alice and Greenfoot. The examples feature annotations with dos and don'ts along with cross references to more detailed explanations in the text. New tables show a large number of typical and cautionary examples. New programming and review problems are also presented that ensure a broad coverage of topics. In addition, Java 7 features are included to provide programmers with the most up-to-date information.

My most fond memory from my bachelor's degree. Java was fun, easy, and very friendly. I have stepped away from OOP but could throw down on this obsolete language if needed.

Very well documented and good explanations.
Also, some project ideas from the end of the chapters are quite interesting.
