Textbooks

• The primary source of information about the programming language Java and the concepts of computer science that we will study this semester will be my notes and Think Java: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist, Java Version 7.1.0 by Allen B. Downey and Chris Mayfield, 2020. Download a copy of Think Java 2e.
• We will also use Introduction to Java Programming, Brief Version, 10th Edition by Y. Daniel Liang. (Comprehensive Version is okay.) as a reference in the latter part of the semester.

Java Resources

• IntelliJ IDEA Download Site (get the free, Community edition)
• Browse the Java SE 8 or Java SE 14 API Specification. (I'm adding both because SE 8 is easier to read although older, but it would not matter for us in CSE 114.)

Java Programming Tutorials

• Oracle Java Tutorials
• TutorialsPoint
• W3Schools
• Jetbrains Academy
