Hi Doug, Since I am new to JAVA, I was thinking what should be the best book/ reference material to learn JAVA so that I can start contributing to HBase. Can you/ anyone please suggest some reading materials?
Currently I have been able to set up the development environment in Eclipse and integrate it with Maven and compile the scripts and played around it a bit. Just another point, I am not alien to programming and have been programming in JAVA intermittently, therefore its not like I will give a blank stare when someone mentions about a virtual class.
