Ok, actually I just need to learn Java like the back of my fucking hand for next semester. Learning VB really-fucking-well would be nice too. Which means I need books, lots of books. Or, preferably, just one book for each. One fucking good book that can take a person with NO programming experience (yes, I have some programming experience, but I'm not willing to hedge my luck yet)


Peter van der Linden's books are the best of the lot. He works for Sun, for one thing; he's a good writer, for another; most importantly, he wrote two Official Handbooks of Practical Jokes, one of which says that five peeled, frozen cans of shaving cream can fill and lightly pressurize a small car if allowed to thaw.

Also, read this.

Ray!
