Alright, I have been a net admin for about 7 years now and need a change of pace. I want to start learning java programming but am unsure about which book would be good and how to progress. If anyone can provide some insight it would be appreciated. I have very little programming experience and nothing in C/C++. Thanks!

There is a lot of crap out there. watch out. Too many books on Java. Used to be a CS student for a very long time, and if I were you I would avoid deitel and deitel, of course this is a heresy but they are not as good as people appraise them to be. I stuck with "java in a nutshell" and "java with examples in a nutshell" and those are two very good books. You will learn most stuff through those books. hope this helps.
 
Thanks for all the input, I am new to programming in general so it would definately have to be a newbie book. Thanks again!

Definately Java in a Nutshell, but also pick up the Java book put out by Sun. Although you may not understand it to begin with it becomes an invaluable reference tool during the later stages of programming.


Good Luck!
