Essential Texts Essential texts are texts which the lecturers strongly recommend that you buy. For this module these are: K. Sierra, B. Bates, Headfirst Java (2nd. Ed.), O'Reilly, 2005. ISBN: 0596009208. I am very conscious that many of you will be coming to this course with a limited knowledge of Java. In my opinion, this is the best “self learning” book that is available on Java and will get you up to speed quickly. It complements the more comprehensive coverage provided by Eckel. S.Haugland, M. Cade and A Orapallo, J2EE 1.4 The Big Picture, Prentice Hall, 2004. This is the first book on enterprise Java to explain the big picture. Aimed at managers more than systems architects or programmers, it explains the issues in plain English. Modify Manage Copy Remove
