which you should subscribe to.

Recommended reading
Just about everyone in the MPE Java community who has read
Thinking in Java has
recommended it as an excellent resource
The 'Nutshell' books by David Flanagan --
Java in a
Nutshell and
Java Examples in a Nutshell --are also highly recommended. We're
anxiously awaiting
Java Enterprise
in a Nutshell, due in July. I haven't taken a look at
Java Foundation
Classes in a Nutshell yet, but imagine for those doing graphical user
interface programming using JFC/Swing this would be a good choice.
The Java Series
published by Addision-Wesley for Sun includes the official language,
API, and virtual machine specifications, as well as other useful
titles including the indispensible
Java Developer's
Almanac
Freeware class libraries
The
Java Generic Library provides capabilities similar to the
Java Collections of JDK 1.2, but is available on JDK 1.1 as
well
Other web sites of interest
Information sites
The Java home page is the place for
the latest news and information on the Java platform
The Java News page is
updated daily with information of general interest to Java users
Developer resources
The Java Developer
Connection is free, but requires registration.
The Java Repository,
the Java Boutique, and
Gamelan are all sites which have
lots of downloadable content.
Miscellaneous web sites
If you're both a Java/iX and an Apache/iX user, the
Java Apache Project gives
interesting previews of future directions in using these technologies
together.
