……对于刚开始从事软件开发职业的应届毕业生而言。往上走去学面向对象语言（尤其是 Java）也会更容易。在我看来，David Flanagan 写的《Java in a Nutshell》第一版第二章，依然是有一定 C 经验后最好的 Java 入门读物。
…the graduate starting their career in software development. It's also easier to go up the stack to object oriented languages, particularly Java. The second chapter, first edition, of David Flanagan's Java in a Nutshell is still, in my opinion, the best intro to Java after having some experience with C.
虽然它有点年头了，但 O'Reilly 的《Java in a nutshell》（David Flanagan 著）早期版本是专门针对学习 Java 的 C/C++ 程序员量身打造的。在我看来，它写得极其出色，准确、清晰、精炼而且引人入胜。从第4版开始……
It's getting old, but the early editions of O'Reilly's "Java in a nutshell" (by David Flanagan) books were targeted specifically at C/C++ programmers learning Java. In my opinion, it's extremely well-written, being correct, clear, concise and engaging. From the 4th edition…
……否则，你很容易陷入一种麦卡锡主义式的思维，非黑即白地把书划分为好书和坏书，而不是看待每本书各自的优缺点。举个例子来说，我个人非常喜欢《Java in a Nutshell》，因为 Flanagan 的文笔太棒了。极其简练，却能涵盖所有边界情况，字里行间透着一种生机与活力，但又浑然天成到让人容易忽略它的精妙（道格拉斯·亚当斯的文笔也有这种……
…Otherwise, you can get into a kind of McCarthyism where there are good books and bad books, instead of each book having strengths and weaknesses. To put this in perspective, I personally really liked "Java in a Nutshell", because Flanagan's writing is brilliant. It's very succinct, yet covers all the cases, has a joie de vivre about it, and yet is so transparent it's easy to not notice it (Douglas Adam's prose also has…
……说到心坎里了：真正优秀的 Java 书其实屈指可数。我喜欢官方规范，还有 Arnold 和 Gosling、Marty Hall 以及 Peter van der Linden 写的书。要查参考资料的话，我喜欢《Java in a Nutshell》系列和 Sun 的在线参考文档（我会把 javadoc API、语言规范及其补充修订直接拷到本地硬盘，并在浏览器加好书签，这样随时都能秒开查阅。）
…the same page: There are a small number of excellent Java books. I like the official specification and the books by Arnold and Gosling, Marty Hall, and Peter van der Linden. For reference I like the Java in a Nutshell series and the online references at Sun (I copy the javadoc APIs and the language specification and its amendments to my local disk and bookmark them in my browser so I'll always have fast access.)
《Restful Web Services》——一本好书，真正打开了我的思路，让我认识到 Web 服务背后的东西可以是拥有不同表述形式的“资源”，而不仅仅是远程函数调用。原版的《Java In a Nutshell》——读起来干巴巴的，但当年真的太太太有用了。Stephen Prata 的《C++ Primer Plus》——是这本书让我把编程当成了“一门职业生涯”。当时我只是随手从书架上抽出来的……
Restful Web Services - great book and really opened up my thinking about how things behind web services can "resources" with different representations - rather than remote function calls. The original "Java In a Nutshell" - it was dry reading, but at the time is was sooo useful. C++ Primer Plus by Stephen Prata - this was the book that got me into programing "as a career" so to speak. I picked it randomly off the shelf…
我可以为 Java 的文档质量打包票。我学 Java 主要是看在线的 javadoc 页面、Sun 的 Java 教程，以及《Java in a Nutshell》，我觉得 Java 的文档水准真的是拔得极高。
I can vouch for the quality of the Java documentation. Having learned Java primarily from the online javadoc pages, the Sun Java Tutorial, and Java in a Nutshell, I think the Java documentation really set the bar high.
