Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

My daughter needs to learn Java (not Java script). I am looking for a good book for a total beginner with no programming experience. My Java books are too advanced.
Can anyone offer any recommendations? Thanks!

I'm always on the look-out for good resources for beginners and younger-beginners because I teach a lot of family (nephews, nieces, etc) that it is easy to program.
Learn Java the Easy Way: A Hands-On Introduction to Programming[^] (No Starch Press) is a really well-written book that eases the reader/learner into Java.
Sets up the background needed for learning.
Eases into JShell.
Continues into deeper subjects & even teaches some UI programming.
Probably one of the better beginner resources out there & No Starch books are often targeted to younger / earlier readers/learners.

I was just about to post this as well. I have a few of the Headfirst books and I have found them all useful, they have a different teaching style to traditional 'dry' text books that I found refreshing.

I always liked Thinking in Java by Bruce Eckels/MindView.
There used to be free e-books available.
I am not sure if it is the best book for a first language book.
There are multiple threads in the Lounge for intro to programming.

Head First Java is a book with a number of pictures, and this makes it an interesting read, an introductory one.

Yes!!!
Go look this guy up on Linked-In & Quora.com

Then from there, find his Java Books, you won't be disapointed.

If I wanted to teach a newbie today, I would start with an interactive online tutorial like the one on W3Schools.
Books are nice to have in case of internet failure, but especially to young "google it" folks they are a last resort.

Java in a Nutshell, 7th Edition [Book]
A book you keep.
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

Out of curiosity is her goal to eventually become a developer using Java.
Or is this to help her get past a single class?
Or just to introduce her to programming?
So, it boils down to understanding the Motivation and the Destination.
I am HUGE on learning code from reading code. I had source code access to huge chunks of our old operating system.
I was able to patch the binaries by hand to change how things worked from that knowledge.
So, it's okay to have a code heavy book and let her breeze through the code, and try to guess what things do.
But again, if her motivation is only to dip her toes into programming, to see. That changes the amount of effort and the depth of the task.
This is always hard for us who are too deep into the topics.
