Are you talking about just starting out with Java? If so, I recently purchased these two (Amazon.com has a package deal on them right now): Beginning Java 2 SDK 1.4 Edition (Ivor Horton) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1861005695/ Beginning Java Objects: From Concepts to Code (Jacquie Barker) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1861004176/ I haven't had a chance to look at the Barker's book yet, but Horton's is a pretty good intro to Java. Hal Helms recommended Barker's book as a good starting point to learn about OOP in one of his recent newsletters. CA> Also, any preferred Development Environments / Editors? Based on a recommendation in Horton's book, I've started messing around with JCreator ( http://www.jcreator.com/ ). It's a nice Java IDE and pretty easy for beginners to pick up. The light edition is free, too. Also, UltraEdit works pretty good and has a tool you can configure to compile java files.
