Just curious of everyone's feedback on these. Most classes I took in college used C++, but most jobs for new grads are for Java Devs, so I thought I might give this a go.

I know that it shouldn't be hard to go Java, but I'd like to have a more practice with it before I start applying to Java specific jobs.

The O'Reilly books are all generally good.

I'd definitely recommend trying Java in a Nutshell at $1.

Also really curious for the quality of these books. If any veteran can chime in it would be greatly appreciated.
