C++ by Stroustroup is one of the best books in languages that I have read (especially the ARM book).
On Java I still prefer the simplicity of the first edition by the creator of Java. to the point. brief. clear and concise. The more recent topics you can probably learn from on line sources such as generics, genericized lists etc..
