Java original tutorial

Question

I've seen once somebody reference a file where all the info about java lang is written. Like the original source.
Give me please a link to that one.
And I would like to get some advice on when I should learn/read it.
Is it for masters and I must only turn to it when I've learned all the basics and want something more or I can take a look at it any time?

Answer 1

Do you mean the javadocs for Java? They are the Java language reference where you look up things you want to know about a particular class:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/
The official Oracle tutorials can be found here:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/

Answer 2

@Alexander There are as many 'bibles' for Java as prophets ^^ Maybe look at Filip's post if you can find it there:

Answer 3

@Alexander I didn't read it ^^ I read three or four other books about Java and now I use the javadocs or search for solutions on the internet. I use the Oracle tutorials for new content after updating to a major release of jdk.

No, it was a file, where was 300 pages or so. Maybe 1k or 3k, that was a huge file, anyway.
The question somebody asked was which books on Java he needs to read and the guy gave some links and finally said that the file (there was a name of this thing for sure) is like a Bible for Java coders, earlier or later you have to read it because all the info is there.

Seems that it's the thing.

How do you think is it reasonable for a beginner to meet a tough guy like that?
