ok... i got impatient and ran out to buy

core java 2 volume 1-fundamentals by horstmann and cornell

at first glance it seems to be ok.

JAva 2 from Scratch by Steven Haines, published by QUE is a good book to get you off and running in Java, esp if you have prior programming knowledge.

the book takes you through the steps (and the code) needed to build an stock tracker application.
Uses:
JTables
JFrame/JPanel/Layouts
JLists
JMenus
Graphics2D
Sockets
Input/OutputStreams
URL
Timers

and a lot more. -------------------------------------------

Sun's own tutorials are OK (avail as book or web). The online versions are quite handy for quick reference, but I find the style a bit chatty. Still, it's free.

Mappy: is there a site for these tutorials or should i just search google? (and pray!)

thnx for the post!

I agree with jfryer
the JAva 2 from Scratch by Steven Haines, is an exellent book for beginners, since the user will build an application and really learn alot of stuff....
