chicken s$it indeed. I never got far along enough in Hughes to run into that. I was in ATE as well for multiple programs.
when I was in school working part Time at ITT Satellite, they played off excellent people who "would have no problem finding another job." Hum... We're graybeards though I can't grow a beard. Maybe I'll start a consulting business titled, "WTH are you doing?"

Sorry, had a bit of an epiphany last night about the place I work. Need to get out of my funk.

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.
