Subject: [PLUG] Java book

All,

I'm embarking on a voyage of discovery with Java and I'm looking into
picking up a couple of books. Does anybody have some good suggestions from
what they've read/used? I've been exposed to OO programming through PHP and
Perl. Also and web resources and mailing lists would be helpful as well.

thanks,

A little spendy since it's a text book, but well worth it.  
The first half of the book is basic OOP, the second half is 
how to program well.  If comes with a CD with lot's of examples 
and there's an online resource for it as well.  When you get to 
actually writing Java programs, use Eclipse for your IDE, it's 
written in Java so it works everywhere, and has a lot of interactive 
help for syntax for using the many classes available.


Sorry if this is a duplicate email, the first one got sent as HTML and 
I figured it would get dropped.
