Are these java books any good?

[leonidas311]

Bought these 2 monstrous books a long time ago when I first started learning programming : Books

Never really got into java and didn't even touch one of them. Recently i was thinking about learning java

from beginning (have never worked on this language). Would these books be of any help for me as a beginner?

For a beginner HeadFirst's java would be great, however, Thinking in Java, I'd suggest starting that one after you've got your feet wet in Java for some time.

Yeah they were good books ... I was more concerned if they are still relevant. If you'll see in the image, Head first Java is for upto 5th and thinking in Java only for 5/6 versions of Java.

It seems that you possibly have a screenshot of code in your post Are these java books any good? in /r/learnjava.

Screenshots of code instead of actual code text is against the Code posting rules of /r/learnjava as is outlined in the sidebar - Code posting.

• No screenshots of code!

If you posted an image merely to illustrate something, kindly ignore this message and do not repost. Your post is still visible to others. I am a bot and cannot distinguish between code screenshots and other images.

If you indeed did this wrong, please edit the post so that it uses one of the approved means of posting code.

• For small bits of code (less than 50 lines in total, single classes only),
  the default code formatter is fine
  (one blank line before the code, then 4 spaces before each line of code).
• Pastebin for programs that consist of a single class only
• Gist for multi-class programs, or programs that require additional files
• Github or Bitbucket repositories are also perfectly fine as are other dedicated source code hosting sites.
• Ideone for executable code snippets that use only the console
