    Seeking Java Book Advice

    Hi.

    I'm an experienced C++ programmer/OO designer who now needs to use
    Java on my next project. I've never programmed in Java, and I am only
    vaguely familiar with it (I know what bytecodes and JVM's are, I know
    that an Interface is a class with no implementation, and I know that
    derived classes either extend the base class or implement it if it's
    an interface--but that's about it).

    I'm looking for some excellent books on Java. Ideally one would be a
    great for reading cover to cover and a second would serve as a great
    reference book.

    Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Ken

      I believe that the book Just Java is targeted for someone like you -- it
      just focuses on Java without trying to teach you programming, etc.
