Can you help me?

Could anyone suggest me an online very good book to learn computer science and an amazing manual of Java? Thanks in advance.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Hey @Guillermo Templado, before blindly starting your programming career with Java, make sure its the language you are looking for. Java is most often used for developing business application and if that's the field you're interested in, I would recommend Kathy Sierra's Head first Java. Java is also pretty popular among programming competitors because of its biginteger class so it would be a good choice. If not however and you're more into mathematics and problem solving, python is the language for you.

thank you for your answer,it makes sense... I'm going to try learn Phyton,if I have some free time. I have used Basic and Pascal, and I think it must be quite familiar for me, but I'm interested more in Java for Internet, I think it's very useful for this, what do you think?

In that case, I think you're referring to Javascript. Javascript is somewhat a different language from Java but also much easier to learn. There are plenty of online resources and some great hands-on learning opportunities at khanacademy.org. Make sure to check them out
