Hey there.
I have been doing Java for 5 months or so, in school, and we have primarily been learning from online resources (of which there are plenty) and the teacher's knowledge, but what I really want is a book next to me, a concise 'companion' to Java, so if I need to quickly look up something, for example the API's.
A friend of mine recommended 'Java in a Nutshell', but I wanted a wider opinion. I just want a resource, where I can quickly, easily look up things, or read more in-depth on various concepts if I don't understand them in class, and it is generally hard to go by a lot of 'reviews', as I have seen very few books with less than 4/5 stars on a site.
No budget as such, but I would prefer not to pay more than £20.
All feedback is welcome, thanks in advance!
