[Java] Re: Java for Self Training

 

Sir,
Addressing you all -trickten, matt_j_harris, loyal_barber- three gentlemen

Thanks for your very useful and precious suggestions. The books & references you suggested are useful and precious, as well-although I am yet go through them.

If you don't feel that I am repeating my query, I would like to ask one thing. For a beginner like me, which is better 'command line' or IDE to start with? If IDE, which is 'the' best IDE among those available today?

Thank you, sir.

Haridhar Srivatsa

Can you, please, provide me complete information which version of Java is best for a novice like me and where to download it from, how to install, how to start programming.
