Need help about JAVA

[dashang]

Guys, in my next coming semester i am having "JAVA programming" subject . Do you guys have a good book about java programming??
And also Tell me what is SDK??? and also tell what to install for doing java programming [ for example: we have to install "turbo C" for C programming] .

You can buy "The complete Reference to Java" - Seventh Edition. It's good book.

And do u mean JDK ?? SDK = Software Development Kit and JDK = Java Development Kit.

To compile Java programs u need to install JDK (latest is 1.6).

Check this site : http://java.sun.com/

Complete Reference is just that , a complete reference book.

I suggest you avoid it , if you're starting out with Java.
Instead , get Head First Java, Best book for starters AFAIK.
