May I suggest Bruce Eckel's Thinking in Java? It is free on-line:
http://www.mindview.net/Books/TIJ/
For more practice and more OO than Java, I like Barbara Liskov's
Program Development in Java: Abstraction, Specification, and
Object-Oriented Design

Thanks, but no problem there - I have a CS degree and *cough* almost
20 years experience in the field. I can read Java just fine, but I
know I'm missing some of the subtleties so I thought it might be a
good idea to go over the basics. I haven't worked in C++ for a while
now (5+ years), so I need to retrain my brain to think OO. :)

Janine,
I recommend getting at least a basic understanding of Java before
learning anything about WebObjects. Start with Sun or a book about
Java programming. Then move to WO technologies.
The Apple doc you mention may be a bit difficult if you're new to
programming in general ... "The chief assumption this guide makes
about your background is that your are a programmer. From a
multitude of languages, you have used at least one, ideally two or
more." I haven't read it, though, so I could be wrong.

Would I be better off reading Apple's various Java docs, starting
with Java for WebObjects Developers, or a more generic Java tutorial
like the one from Sun? I imagine the latter would be better and
more up-to-date, but that the former would be more helpful in
learning the WO Way. Thoughts?
thanks,
janine
