> I am seeking book recommendations or preferrably online tutorials > to help me learn Java.
The only online resources I recommend for Java are: 1) Bruce Eckel's Thinking in Java and 2) The official Sun tutorial The only book I've found that I like is: O'Reilly Learning Java The Java in a Nutshell is a useful reference too. > I came from Visual Basic 6 to Python and had little problems > which is why I love Python. With that background you should have little difficulty with Java conceptually., except that Javba uses classes for everythjing and because of that relies hevily on class methods(statics) to mimic functions in VB/Python Otherwise the pain is mainly in the rigours of strict static typing and getting to know the huge class library. Have fun, Alan G. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
