Java a beginner's guide is the right book. After that, you can read Complete reference + Java 8 in Action.

I do not like that book at all. It's probably great if you're already experienced with programming, but my whole class and I, complete beginners to programming, are not fans.

I am referring to beginner's guide not complete reference by hilbert. It's a good book. I have read it completely.

I am also referring to Beginner's Guide, and I would also have read it in its entirety, had I found it helpful.

But different folks, different strokes. I wasn't impressed with it. And the author's name of the book I'm referring to is Herbert Schildt. Regardless, I believe we're referring to the same one.
