I'm about to buy my books, before I buy them, I need to know:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596009208/qid=1150337968/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/102-5802084-3958548?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

Is that a good Java book?

From the reviews, it looks like a great buy. Go for it.

don't buy that stuff when you can get (mostly) better quality stuff for free =\ spend your money on a date or something

http://www.mindviewinc.com/ (the java book is AMAZING but it has c/c++ books too)
http://w3schools.com (has php and sql tutorials)
http://www.javaop.com/~ron (ron's awesome)
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ (awesome and thorough tutorials)
http://us2.php.net/tut.php (prepares you for being able to easily learn off the manual)
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/language/tutorial/ (they're ok... but I'd go with mindview.inc's c++ books)
and then of course google but it's always mean to link to it so I won't

If you want portability then just print stuff out. On your school computers, of course.

joe: Java Methods was the worst book I've ever read. And those assholes make a lot of money off of it. It should be burned.

Chapter 1: Let's throw a bunch of big words at you and never talk about them again!
Chapter 2: wHo The fuck Made this Language
Chapter 3: So software is stuff that runs on metal and talks through wires and drives on buses
Chapter 4-17: We just decided on whim to spend 400 pages on primtives, loops, arrays, and conditionals. Thanks for the money and be sure to buy our next book! (Which is actually decent I have to admit.)

Sorry but no thanks. I dislike e-books.
