I have no money to buy any about java, but I want to learn java, what
should I do when I have no money to buy a good book?

There's loads of online tutorials for beginners, Sun's own website is a
great free resource.

Start saving up now. In the interim, you can't go wrong with "The Java™
Tutorial": <http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/reallybigindex.html>

Old books are fine for learning Java. If you pay postage, you will
probably find people willing to give you some.

It�s amazing how much structure natural languages have when you consider who speaks them and how they evolved.

Find friends with books. Do they have libraries where you are? How
about those chain bookstores with coffee shops where you can read a
book for a while without buying it? There are all kinds of ways to
borrow and read books without buying them. Have you tried that?

GIYF. DeveloperWorks from IBM is a website with a ton of information
about Java.

And really? You have NO money to buy ANY books? Really? Come on!
What are you spending your money on? Are there used bookstores near
you where you can at least get them cheap?

Anyway, there's a ton of tutorial and introductory matter available
for free, so if you're saving your ducats for beer rather than books
there's still no need to despair.

Bear in mind that you have to invest something, time and money, to
make any progress in any endeavor. Programming is not easy so don't
expect everything to fall in your lap without effort and yes,
occasional expense on your part.

Mind you, I'm pretty stingy when it comes to books. I only buy the
ones I'm going to read over and over again, but I do buy those books.
Still, I've learned a lot of things like Swing and JSF and JPA without
buying any books on the subject. The information is out there, given
that you obviously have Internet access.
