Title: What Java 7 Book should I get? Post by: Michael on February 17, 2013, 11:15:52 PM Ok so for my birthday, my sister doesn't know what to get me for my birthday. So I told her that I want some Java Books, she does not know anything about computer programming, so she is going to let me go to a store and pick it out. I would like to know what book(s) you recommend for beginner-intermediate (as I already know some of the basics). If you aren't sure, here is the search that I used on walmart:
Walmart Search: Java 7 (http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_query=Java+7&ic=16_0&Find=Find&search_constraint=3920) I was deciding on these two books... Java 7 for Absolute Beginners (http://www.walmart.com/ip/16478424) Pro Java 7 Nio.2 (http://www.walmart.com/ip/17287641) Thank you for your help! Title: Re: What Java 7 Book should I get?

Post by: nh_99 on February 18, 2013, 05:13:32 PM Well, if your planning on building games, the book Developing Games in Java by David Brackeen is good, though somewhat outdated. The methods still work though! http://www.brackeen.com/javagamebook/ (http://www.brackeen.com/javagamebook/)
