My reviews of books used while learning beginning coding:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beginning Programming with Java For Dummies 3rd Edition by Barry A. Burd (Author). I loved this book. It explained ideas in simple to understand concepts. It gave references to other resources to expand on ideas. All around good book for beginners.

⭐⭐⭐ Head First Java 2nd Edition by Kathy Sierra (Author), Bert Bates (Author)
This book was ok. I like that it was fun and tried to be simple to explain things but I got lost several times. It was my first java book and they kept explaining most all ideas by using an example with a remote control. I would have rather they just explained the actual technical concept directly. There was a lot of good content and practice exercises so still worth reading.
