New to Java ...best advice?
I'm going to pursue Java. And I'm very open about it as of now I don't have a preferrence; web,servlet, apps etc. I don't even know where to begin!
I have downloaded NetBeans that has the Java J2SE
5.0 integrated with it.
My question is obviousely where do I as a newbie to programming start with Java? Can anyone recommend a good starter book?
What field or area in Java would be the most beneficial in terms of yielding a job?
I'm not saying I'm going to get a job of the top but I need the basics first.
I also may be going to Japan soon and know that Java is hot over there big time since it's intergrated so well into almost everything ie Desktops/servers, cell phones, PDA's, etc.
Your help is extremely appreciated.
