#33949 — Best Useful Java Books To Java Programmer (I can't continually store and manage web pages)

First, I don't like committing 100% to web pages because their existence is fleeting, etc.

What are the best books that "teach" java programming to someone who uses the language every year or so. I don't care about books that operate at the "if" statement level because an "if" is nearly identical in many different languages.

Thanks,
Mike

Geez, I'm having a mental block.  I just can't remember the name of the 
book just now. But it was big and heavy and the absolute best for 
pressing botanical specimens.

The best way to "learn" anything depends on the student, different people learn better from different methods.  Personally I think the best way to learn Java is straight from Oracle's tutorials.  If you don't like following them online, follow them offline.

Joshua Bloch's _Effective Java_ is a must-have for all Java programmers.

"Every year or so" to me can mean two different needs: either you want 
something like a cheat sheet, a quick way to look up some detail you 
don't remember. I can't recommend anything in that line, would be 
interested to hear what others recommend.

Or it could mean you want in-depth coverage, like a reference handbook, 
but with examples, so you can make yourself conversant in reasonable 
time with something that is basically new to you. In that case I'd look 
to Cay Horstmann's "Core Java" Vol. I and II, that have just been 
revised for Java 8 (10th edition).

I'm not sure  "Effective Java" is for the occasional need.

How in the heck is someone who uses Java once a year supposed to have any chance at all of writing good code if they don't read _Effective Java_?

I mean, it's doomed anyway, but let's give the guy a ghost of a chance!
