[sypher2]

I have one book I'm looking at that was recommended to me, but i would like to know which beginners programming book you used or would recommend? I have a basic understanding of java, so i emphasize the word BEGINNER.

Java for what? General Java? web sites? Android apps?

Is that your first programming language?

general java programming.. yes it is.. well, i know a little bit of HTML and python. and im familiar with the terminology for java, but thats about it
