OT: Java Textbook?

[Jerry Malcolm]

Completely off-topic.  But I figure this is the perfect group to ask
this question to.  I will be teaching a university level intro to Java
programming (for non-programming majors) in the spring semester.  I am
looking for a good textbook to use.   I've been out of academia for
years.  So I'm not up to date on available java textbooks.   If you are
aware of a good textbook, please let me know.  You can reply here.  Or
just PM me at the address above (please put 'textbook' in the subject
line if you PM me).

Thanks.

Dear Professor Malcolm,
I have experimeted with this book intro to Java Programming, Comprehensive Version 10th Edition, and I found it useful for non Java programming.
The ISBN-13 is 978-0133761313. May I ask what programming book were you using for your computer network class ? I am experimenting with
Python but I don't know if it is good fited ?
Thanks,

Minh Tran; Ph.D.

Dear Jerry,

According to my personal preference I am a big fan of Head first book
series ("head first java"). Here you can find good examples for teaching.

Moreover I can suggest " effective java" and "Java in nutshell" books.

Regards
Arjuna

I'd say Core Java.I read other books mentioned as well, they are good in their own ways. However Core Java was one with best structure and paints the best picture.

I remember reading a bit of Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in Java" a long
time back, but that was after I knew quite a bit about the language,
environment, etc. It was also a long time ago, so I can't really rate
it as a "beginner's book", but I definitely remember some significant
*depth*.

Bruce's "Thinking in ____" series are all similar, so if you like his
style (or your students do!), then it might be a good fit.
