>		Opinion on best books for those new to Java:
  • The Java Programmng Language - Gosling, Arnold, Holmes
  • Effective Java - Bloch
  • Java Class Libraries, 2nd edition, Volume 1, plus supplement
The libraries are of course available on line. However, the paper editions have extensive discussions which do not appear in the on line versions. As well, the paper versions give one a better sense of the size of the libraries, and are easier for browsing around and getting familiar with core classes.
