These are some nice tutorials for C++/Java, all free downloads and they even come with the source.

yeah, but they are kinda steep for the beginner. But if you're into details and "exactly how things works", Bruce is a very good author. He's currently my 2nd reference book when Google can't give me a one line answer.

But still, I recall that there are quite a number of experienced people here, when put together, can answer any question you have on Java etc. So go ahead and post your questions if you really don't understand after reading your book.

i am not sure whether it is relevant for me to post this. anyway, i would suggest you to read the Java Language/Platform White Paper written by the creator itself, James Gosling. try to search it in http://java.sun.com. it will really give you a real clear picture regarding Java and how it differs from C++ and other related programming languages. of course Bruce's Thinking in Java is another good reference to kick off if you are serious into Java.

Now, I try to open a project site based on Java..and will be available shortly...and I think it's wiser for us to collect bunch of tutorials out there and put it in one place...and help each other understanding it...and..if we have time, we can do write some stuff just want to see how it works.

lol after doing a LOT of c++ for school and hIRC (www.hirc.org), 1 semester of java... made me fall in love all over again :p I might post some tutorials here if needed... or some of my school assignments. I'll do it after my summer classes are done :P

Thanks da-hype.
the idea of tutorial has been one of the first thing that I have in mind when we first creating Recom. But, till now, it's still hasn't materialized yet.. (actually, we plan to become the Malaysian SourceForge...).
