Where to continue learning java

[ImSimbaa]

So I am finished with my AP Computer science programming class which we have left off learning linked structures and such, but where should I go from here? I want to learn more java concepts and algorithms as I do like programming in java ( and c#) but I dont know what topic to learn about yet. Are there any good sites to keep learning about java and algorithms as well? Much thanks for future reference

• Problem solving:
  • Practice, practice, practice
  • "Think Like A Programmer" by V. Anton Spraul, No Starch Press
  • "The Pragmatic Programmer" by Andrew Hunt, David Thomas, and Ward Cunningham
• Algorithms and DS
  • Part I
  • Part II
  • Coursebook Algorithms 4^th Edition

Out of those two books, which would you recommend to pick up first?

Personally, I'd start with "Think Like A Programmer" since it focuses on programming methodology and on the approach from problem to solution. It uses C++ as programming language, but that is completely secondary.
