Couple more into that pile would be " Short Description Teach Yourself Java 2nd Edition is a clear, user-friendly guide to programming in Java 2, the language which powers the Internet.

"Beginning Java Objects >From Concepts to Code" by Jacquie Barker, good for dipping but graduate textbook course work style if you have the time. I wouldn't go too deeply into it unless you want to specialise, cfc's and actionscript, flash remoting weith CF and Flash probably worth spending more time at(addressing myself):-) rgds Colm http://www.cbweb.net -----Original Message----- From: Justin MacCarthy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 21 January 2003 10:42 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] CF Class files > Oh, and can anyone recommend a good book that deals with the Java > aspects of CFMX?

Hopefully this mail will help them get started. In reality you can get on with a limited understanding, but you will probably enjoy learning more. I suggest you forget about Java and CFMX, in the beginning, until you get your J2ee fundamentals right. Download a jsp/servlets container to get started. I recommend http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/. This will give you an understanding of the config file (web.xml etc) / the directory structure (WEB-INF etc.) / and jars (how java apps are packaged) etc. As for the books.... Lets break down the parts - you really only need one java syntax book & one j2ee book to get the basics. The core language ------------------------------------- Beginning Java http://www.wrox.com/books/1861002238.htm + pretty good tutorial to get started Java Professional Library (4 books) - Oreilly + loads here mostly reference though + one j2ee book (not great: I have an older version ) + one java basics book (good) + one java examples book - helpful + one core language reference (good) On the server/ J2ee ------------------------------------- Professional Java Server Programming http://www.wrox.com/books/1861002777.htm Good introduction to server side java Include JSP / Servlets / some EJB (overview only) /Jini Enterprise JavaBeans - Oreilly http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/entjbeans3/ Great In-depth reference for EJB Java Servlet Programming http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/jservlet2 Great In-depth reference to servlets.. I recommend you DON't get http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/javentappsv1/ Building Java Enterprise Applications Volume because although it's a good book the author has informed me that there is NO release date for the 2nd and 3rd parts. Very annoying. CFMX and J2ee / Java ----------------------------------------- Macromedia Reality ColdFusion MX / J2EE by Ben Forta / Drew Falkman / Kristian Cibulskis / Bonnie Plottner. http://www.forta.com/books/0321129482 I'll sent you my full review of this one.... MX contains several java technologies: * Axis for websevices - http://xml.apache.org/axis/ * J-Integra COM/ java bridge http://www.intrinsyc.com/ * taglibs - tags you can use in both jsp & cf (using cfimport) http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/index.html * log4j used by cflog internally -http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/index.html In addition to all that - there is loads on the web that is excellent, java.sun.com tutorials come to mind. Step by step guide to creating your own servlets etc... Finally download a good IDE (jEdit www.jedit.org /eclipse http://www.eclipse.org), makes life much easier.
