Does anyone knows a good tutorial or book to learn Java?. I need to learn it quickly for a course in the Uni. I have background in other programming languages such as C/C++ so i hope that helps.
Thanks in advance for your feedback

The book I recommend is Java How to Program Third Edition by Deitel and Deitel.

I like it a lot because it's very detailed and it has sample programs that are easy to understand. Also, it's very substantial and it covers most of the topics that you need to learn in Java. Trust me on this one. It's a good buy. Good luck!

Thanks for the answers.
I borrowed today from the Uni Library the book:
"Java in a nutshell",David Flanagal, O'Reilly, 4th Edition
I will read begin with it during this week and maybe i move to your recommendations later.

I moved this thread from the C/C++ section to the Java section where it clearly fits.

As for the Java thing, I learned it because my school offers an AP Computer Science course using Java, but there are several free online books you can read to get you started in Java. Here's one of the sites: http://www.techbooksforfree.com/java.shtml

I'll teach you a little Java right now:

CODE

public class HelloWorld //declares the class/application named HelloWorld
{
public static main void(String[] args) //this line is required for every Java application except for applets
{
System.out.println("Hello, World!"); //prints out "Hello, World!" on the command prompt screen. System is a class in (all classes are capitalized). out is object in System. println() is a method in System.
}
}

If you need any help in Java, feel free to PM me.

I'm halfway through the course, so I know pretty much the majority of Java.

I hear that java is closely related to c++, so it shouldnt take you long to learn. A good website is w3schools.com. They give tutorials in a lot of different languages.

<<Thinking In Java>> is a good book. It fully introduces the Java language. I think there are lots of differences between c++ and java. You need spend some time to study Java. If you have known the syntax of Java and its class lib, I suggest you see the book<<Effective Java>>. That will teach yourself a lot.

i would rather ask you to visit youtube and search for java tutorials such as programs.
i think its worth to learn visually/practically than theoretical reading.
