Heya fellow Chris...=) Well I would like to get a good foundation in Java (for backend development) but then would also like to get into the more display tier level of Java dev (JSP) etc.
Thanks for the recommends....I will surely take a look at these books and the editor. -chris.alvarado [ application developer ] 4 Guys Interactive, Inc. http://www.4guys.com "We create websites that make you a hero." -----Original Message----- From: Chris Montgomery [mailto:lists@;airtightweb.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 11:07 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: SOT:Java?

If so, I recently purchased these two (Amazon.com has a package deal on them right now): Beginning Java 2 SDK 1.4 Edition (Ivor Horton) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1861005695/ Beginning Java Objects: From Concepts to Code (Jacquie Barker) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1861004176/ I haven't had a chance to look at the Barker's book yet, but Horton's is a pretty good intro to Java. Hal Helms recommended Barker's book as a good starting point to learn about OOP in one of his recent newsletters. CA> Also, any preferred Development Environments / Editors? Based on a recommendation in Horton's book, I've started messing around with JCreator ( http://www.jcreator.com/ ). It's a nice Java IDE and pretty easy for beginners to pick up. The light edition is free, too. Also, UltraEdit works pretty good and has a tool you can configure to compile java files.
