    Hi guys,
    Its been a while since i looked into Java,almost 4 yrs now and I need to brush up my knowledge
    I believe the transition from Java 1 to Java 2 isn't that drastic

    I need suggestions on the books i can refer for Java,probably some beginner books maybe? There is always the J2CR which comes in handy
    Pop in your suggestions guys

    Hmmm,I find the whole "Dummies series" preposterous
    I dunno why someone would even refer that book and make a mess of the basic understanding regarding a particular subject but again that's a personal opinion
    But,I will definitely go through the online tutorial :)

    Get stuck in would be my advice, think back to the last thing you wrote in java and just have another go ...

    I wouldn't advise that you read the interweb, I find it to be full of lies, and written by people with nothing better to do all day than "blog", "blogging", I find to be preposterous. I come across blogs written by programmers and think, why aren't you at work, I've had one holiday in three years, get to ruddy work, slackers ... sigh ...

    Once you get familiarized with the basics and are comfortable. It would be a GREAT investment to buy a couple of Java-based books on Object-Oriented Patterns/Designs. There are some great ones out there, especially the ones that focus on refactoring towards patterns. This will help get your mindset focused on proper ways to build Java code. The earlier the better on this as well; I wish I personally had spent more time up front learning patterns rather than trying to catch up and change my coding styles later.

    Best of luck to you!
