I would recommend the following books ( surf to http://www.ora.com )
1) Exploring Java
To learn about the programming langauge.
2) Java In A Nutshell
For inheritance diagrams and quick reference manual
3) Java Examples In A Nutshell
For many nice example programs
I have got the Core Java I and II big books, but hearsay is very good about 'em
For Swing/JFC Programming.
Programming with the JFC
I bought this book a month ago, it is quite good, but I have forgotten the author's
name
Mail me tomorrow. It has a CD ROM of Swing/JFC JDK1.1 for Win95 though.
A very new book : Core Java Foundation Classes
Prentice Hall. This is very concise book no trivial code here, but lots real examples.
It is expensive 46.99 British Pounds compared to 49.99 USDollars!!!!!
I think it has the same class as the O'Reilly Motif Programming Manual Vol 6
from X Window Series from 5 years ago. Bill your company so there.
Cheers
Peter
