Good Books/Tutorials on Java?

[XianForce]

I've been having an itch to learn Java for a while... So for those of you who know it, have any book/tutorial recomendations?

Introduction to Java by Y. Daniel Liang is an excellent book im my opinion. It contains a lot of the import and interesting things about Java as well as all the basics.

Here's some video tutorials on Java:

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p ... C7F4A1F852 - this one is actually a bunch of hour long lecture on Programming Methodology (a CS class at Stanford!). Really good teacher and great vids in general but if you can already program it's probably too slow moving for you (although you might still benefit from the methodology side of it).

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p ... 9D83EE3E28 - Some great Java tutorials for beginners by thenewboston who also has a load of other tutorials. I'd recommend this one myself.

Hope these help you!
