srirangron Ask HN: What are the latest and greatest books on your favorite language?

SCJP by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates is an amazing book to learn Java. With interesting examples (often about movie characters) and advanced images/graphics for a better understanding of the concepts.

I recommend it to anyone starting to learn Java, with or without any previous programming experience.
