I did a deep dive into Java for a new job a couple of years ago and found the official Oracle tutorials very good combined with YouTube videos for a quick overview. If you have a reasonable Python background you should be able to follow it easily enough. The biggest challenges are the static typing (which soon becomes frustratingly annoying after Python! - that's where the IDE pays dividends) > and the Eclipse IDE. I used Netbeans as it is the official Java IDE so I can't help with Java on Eclipse, although I do know a lot of it depends on which plugins you install (I used it for UML designs in a previous life!). > Any suggestions? I also used two books (Actually I read about 5 but these were the most useful): - Learning Java - O'Reilly and - Java A Beginners Guide Both are good but, if forced to choose just one, I'd now opt for the more advanced version of the latter: "Java The Complete Reference" by the same author, Herbert Schildt. There is a new 10th edition out which means the previous one is available at much cheaper prices... FWIW Java 8 is now a half decent language, something I'd never have said about Java up to v5 (which was the last time I looked at it). Finally, If you need to use the Enterprise extensions (JEE) you can use the online tutorials but I definitely recommend pre-viewing YouTube vids for that. They really help with the concepts.
