Everything I've learned about Java, I got out of "Beginning Java 2" by Ivor Horton.
It covers the base Java language in the first ten chapters, and the rest are dealing with the libraries. I think it pretty much sums up the entire Java platform, as well as a clear perspective on the "Java way" of approaching programming. (If there is such a thing... and if the idea doesn't make you physically sick.) I find the writing to be practical and straightforward, using examples to explain rather than descriptions when at all possible. One caveat is that it is aimed at someone with no programming experience. The good thing though, is that these parts are easy to skim over and skip if you already understand the basic concepts. -Patrick --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
