Re: java books

[Rick Riolo]

Thanks to everyone for the good refs.
I think they will be what i'm looking for, i.e.,
books i can tell students they should use to
get started, where the students generally fall into
two classes,
 - novice programmers
 - programmers in c, c++, etc.
For the later web resourcs are ok, but for the
former they are not usually as useful, unless there
are one or two *particular* tutorials I can point 
people to.  (telling novices to go out and find
tutorials doesn't usually work, i have found).

anyway, thanks again,
 - r
