Looking to buy a Java book or something similar to dive into Java.

I've never programmed in Java, but I primarily program in C, and a bit in Python.

So looking for something that isn't Intro to Programming with Java but rather, Intro to Java.

Any recommendations?

I have an assignment to do, read in a graph: use BFS to identify off cycles, print the nodes, if tree, print tree.

Could do this in C fairly easily, but would rather do this in a new language such as Java

typically i just google "learning java for c programmers" and look at the tutorials. usually just quick syntax comparisons to get you up and running. then look at java beginner guides for concepts that don't exist in C (objected oriented programming comes to mind)

Appears that is for Java 5, wouldn't it better to get a book more closer to Java 8?

Not really. java is very slow to update. java 5 was the big one. the updates from 6/7/8 won't affect you much.

Very well, will look at the 6th edition when I get some time.

Full time engineer and 18 credits uni too much
