Top 5 free Java ebooks
There are many free Java eBooks, but most are outdated or not accurate. Here’s the best 5 free Java eBooks in my collection, they are well-known, complete, updated and detailed coverage of using Java programming language. Best for Java beginners and might also good reference for experienced programmers.
P.S The order is based on my personal priority.
1. The Java Language Specification, Third Edition

Author : David J. Eck
Description : Good book for beginning programmers, and might also be useful for experienced programmers.
I have been engaged as a professional Java programmer since 1998. In that time, i had to turn the previous 20 years? experience, as an IBM mainframe assembler language programmer, into a distributed processing web software engineer, a completely different mindset.
Eckel’s book ?Thinking in Java? helped me do that more than ?Effective Java? by Joshua Bloch
or any of the ?Heads First? series of books.
Eckel can, in short order, take anyone with a detailed mindset and turn them into an extraordinary java developer.

hi,
out of curiosity: what are your “top 5 non-free java books”?
i’m looking for books like joshua bloch’s “effective java” … any ideas? ;)
Effective Java is a must, top 1 non-free Java book. Just get it…
Fully agree..
Agreed. The best 5 non-free Java books are 5 copies of Effective Java (second edition — don’t try to save money on the pre-generics first edition). His Java Puzzlers is also good.
I also like Head First Java (for beginners) and Head First Design Patterns (for more experienced Java programmers).
