<p>What are good books for studying this? Also,most importantly, what are some good books that can be used to study java for somebody with NO programming experience??</p>

<p>Hey man, I have never taken AP Comp Sci yet at least…but I have been fluent in Java and other languages since 7th/6th grade or so…10th now. So I may be able to help a bit, but most the books I buy are focused on game programming…and I learned Java from a summer course.</p>

<p>You could go with the simple AP Barrons book: [Amazon.com:</a> Barron’s AP Computer Science A with CD-ROM (Barron’s: the Leader in Test Preparation) (9780764197048): Roselyn Teukolsky M.S.: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Barrons-Computer-Science-CD-ROM-Preparation/dp/0764197045/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315696868&sr=8-1]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Barrons-Computer-Science-CD-ROM-Preparation/dp/0764197045/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315696868&sr=8-1)</p>

<p>Here is a lot of simple free stuff:
[Trail:</a> Learning the Java Language (The Java™ Tutorials)](<a href=“JDK 20 Documentation - Home”>Trail: Learning the Java Language (The Java™ Tutorials))
[Learn</a> Java Programming](<a href=“http://www.learn-programming.za.net/learn_java_programming.html]Learn”>http://www.learn-programming.za.net/learn_java_programming.html)</p>

<p>This book helped me learn Visual C# really fast…not 24 hours more like a week or two:
[Amazon.com:</a> Sams Teach Yourself Java in 24 Hours (5th Edition) eBook: Rogers Cadenhead: Kindle Store](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Sams-Teach-Yourself-Hours-ebook/dp/B002YLUXLO/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1315697033&sr=8-8]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Sams-Teach-Yourself-Hours-ebook/dp/B002YLUXLO/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1315697033&sr=8-8)</p>

<p>I hope this helped…</p>

<p>you don’t really need a prep book for AP-Comp Sci in my opinion… Just… know how the codes work!!</p>

<p>“codes”</p>

<p>FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU</p>

<p>I personally recommend:</p>

<p>[Amazon.com:</a> Be Prepared for the AP Computer Science Exam in Java (9780965485357): Maria Litvin: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Prepared-Computer-Science-Exam-Java/dp/0965485358]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Prepared-Computer-Science-Exam-Java/dp/0965485358)</p>

<p>Old looking, but very good prep. For learning it, I’m sort of ashamed to say that I used</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Java-Dummies-Barry-Burd/dp/0470087161[/url]”>http://www.amazon.com/Java-Dummies-Barry-Burd/dp/0470087161&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>which is slow but effective. If I could do it again, I’d use:</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.bluepelicanjava.com/[/url]”>http://www.bluepelicanjava.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>which is very complete and probably could prepare you for the exam alone.</p>
