I HAVE HEAD FIRST JAVA.....AND...JAVA COMPLETE REFERENCE....SHOULD I SELECT ANY OF THEM OR...YOU SUGGEST ME ONE...?
Good idea, thank you. It's here.Fred Hamilton wrote:I would like to mention a couple of web resources that have helped me a lot with learning java.
The Sun Java tutorial is a good resource, but maybe not the best for beginners to learn programming. . . .

roseindia.net is also very good. They have an extensive section of Java tutorials.

I don't know about the tutorials, but that site has quite a few example codes that show off really bad programming practices. Developer beware.
Spot false dilemmas now, ask me how!

It's very hard to learn java from a book. You need practical experience which is hard to find....but colleges/universities require all their java students to do projects and they will post the specs for these on their websites. Let me know if you need help finding.

If you're new to programming I would hold off learning C until you are really solid in Java and OO concepts.
These days I would say that while knowing C is a good thing, it's way down on the priority list for most programmers. It's impossible to say for sure, but my guess is that once a new programmer learns basic Java, they'll *probably* get into technologies like the Java EE stuff (Servlets), application frameworks, OO design patterns, databases, IDEs, version control, and so on.
For a few programmers C might be necessary early on, but I think that's pretty unlikely.
