I've been programming a long time in Fortran, C, Perl, and others, but
not (yet) in Java. My daughter will be taking her first programming
course this semester in High School. I'm wondering what would be a good
book to have on hand. It should be one she can learn basic programming
concepts from and one I could use later as a reference if I ever need to
work in Java. [Note, they did not issue a textbook for her class at
registration, perhaps they'll specify one when the course begins next week.]
Poking around Amazon reviews and introductory courses on the web turned up
Introduction to Java Programming: Comprehensive Version 6/E
by Daniel Liang.
http://www.cs.armstrong.edu/liang/intro6e/index.html
It looks like the early chapters of that are well targeted towards
fledgling programmers, and the book as a whole is comprehensive enough
to serve as a reference. Also there is a lot of extra material
available through that web page.
Would this book suit our needs, or would another book be better?
Thanks,
