Free Introduction to Programming in Java: An Interdisciplinary Approach
This is an excellent book for someone new to programming. It's also a great next step for an experienced programmer learning Java. It is surprisingly easy reading for an expansive 700+ page book. The authors also have a great website: [...]
The book is full of short, self-contained sample programs that are easy to explore. The pages are decorated with helpful sidebar illustrations and descriptive elaborations of code. Sample results are often presented, which makes it easy to read through and understand how a given Java program works. The book includes instructive use of color (shades of blue) and greyscale printing to enhance the reading and learning experience.
The four major sections of the book are: Elements of Programming, Functions and Modules, Object-Oriented Programming, and Algorithms and Data Structures. Algorithms is a topic the authors are well known for; I'm certainly glad they've extended their repertoire here.
The "Anatomy of a Class" on page 377 is just one of many examples where the authors analyze and break down a code sample in a way that gives the reader a much deeper understanding of Java. The authors get you close to the code. The layout of this book makes it easy for you to think about Java and programming concepts as you read.
This is a comprehensive yet enjoyable book covering the essential elements of both Programming and Java.

I have a long experience in programming, as most of the reviewers found here. As one can imagine, this accounts for lots of books in FORTRAN, C, C++, Pascal, BASIC, Python, Perl, etc., over time, but none of them has been so fun to read and teach from, as this gem. In addition, there is a wealth of information in the book webpage, which makes it ideal for self-study.
