[Thomas, Dave]

On the topic of patterns and head first, look at the Head First Design
Patterns.  Best book on coding I ever read when I was learning OO
patterns.

 

Just out is Effective Java 2nd edition.  I had to call 6 bookstores a
few months back to find one in stock before a long flight.  It's
everything the original edition was but covers all the hard stuff we
deal with now like generics and 1.5 concurrency.  Buy it.

Each of these books are good intros to Java and OO programming. Several
of them also deal with good coding practices.

 

Agile Java, Jeff Langr

Thinking in Java, Bruce Eckel.

Head First Java,  Kathy Sierra

 

This book is good because it teaches you common pitfalls in using Java,
and how to avoid them.

 

Effective Java, Joshua Bloch

Experienced programmers: Is java difficult to people who have programmed
for 5+ years with some sort of procedural-language and then move to
java?

In 2000, I moved from a C/assembly job to a Java position (having never
written a line of Java) and had no trouble making the transition.  I
feel that most of the knowledge that took me from my early level of
"competent" to "good" (which probably took a couple of years) didn't
actually have much to do with Java syntax.  In the beginning, you can
always google whatever you're trying to do (i.e. "java sort"), so
memorizing the libraries isn't something I'd worry about.  Honestly,
there's just too much out there to remember it all.  In addition to the
stuff that comes with the JDK, you'll use many open source utilities
like Apache Commons in real world Java apps.  Just write as much Java
code as you can and you'll eventually memorize the things that you
commonly use.

If you want to become a truly useful Java developer, I'd recommend
learning the basics of OO and JUnit (unit testing), getting comfortable
with a good IDE (I use Eclipse), and focusing on writing human-readable
code.  That's going to put you ahead of the majority of people with whom
I've ever worked.  There are plenty of good books out there, but I found
Robert Martin's /Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and
Practices/ really made a lot of sense to me WRT some of the non-syntaxy
stuff that I'm talking
about._______________________________________________
