This is for the iTunes U course Computer Science 106A, course materials from Stanford University. I found it on some weird book seller site for $60 instead of Amazon's $99. So far I'm loving it- it's very clear and direct yet conversational in tone. Only finishing up Chapter 2 but this may be one of my favorite textbooks in terms of enjoyability.

Started coding a while back without starting out with a good foundation (I basically tried the trial and error process). After Studying this book in a course in school it built the foundation I was missing to build every program I write today (whether it's JS, Obj-C, Java, etc.)

good book
Read this textbook for an iTunes University class - Stanford's Programming Methodology. Book was very thorough and easy to understand.
Really clear and easy-to-follow guide! Of course it can't cover every aspect of the language but it does cover a pretty good amount of it to give you a working knowledge of Java.
Hard to write a review about a text book, but overall the author was clear and concise in the presentation of the material.
