Thanks for all your replies.
Using google for a solution on an as-when-needed basis does
not really work well for me unless I have some conceptual
understanding of the subject.
Hence, for the time being, I have decided to settle for Core Java Vol.

Clojure is very tightly integrated with Java. And knowing Java well
helps a great deal.
Personally I like learning from a more formal, comprehensive, book
rather than from spread-out individual tutorials. It gives you the
advantage of learning the workflow, and approaches i

I'm curious about this as well. In terms of writing simple UI gadgets,
it's overwhelming to refer to the Java docs when I don't have any

I'm using those books to learn Java right now. They are suitable as a
tutorial and as a reference, and they include useful extracts from
Java doc. I'm making my way through from the start, but also using

There is a pair of java books I cut my teeth on, an I would recommend
them to anyone.
Core Java Volumes I & II, by Horstman and Cornell.
Amazing reference, two of the best technical books I've ever read.

of Clojure's inner workings as well as get it to interoperate with Java
libraries.
