I'll be taking AP Computer Science next year, and I'm looking for a good way to get a head start on Java. Any good books? I really liked A Byte of Python, anything similar to that for Java? I'd also be willing to pay for an actual book.
If it helps any, here is the course description:
AP Computer Science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have a bit of programming knowledge but I'd rather get an "absolute beginner" type of book as I've never got completely acquainted with any language that I've messed with. I know a bit of Python and bash(If you can call bash scripting programming...I guess not.) As I understand it my small knowledge of Python can be transferable to Java.
Also looking for software recommendations to accompany me while I learn Java. I run Debian, and vim has satisfied the little programming needs I've had in the past. Wouldn't mind checking out some others.
Thanks for reading.
