Java 6.

Everything I've learned about Java, I got out of
"Beginning Java 2" by Ivor Horton.
It covers the base Java language in the first ten chapters, and the
rest are dealing with the libraries. I think it pretty much sums up
the entire Java platform, as well as a clear perspective on the "Java
way" o

The fourth edition (which isn't freely available) is the latest and it

hand. Both of these are references for when you "know some java";
they're not really tutorials.

I would suggest the following:

I learned C++ by reading Thinking in C++ by the same author so it was
a natural progression to move on to this book. It's very big but then
