Reply: (edit)In my personal opinion, you can learn anything by reading books and following examples (after all, this is what college is all about). Java is loosely based on C++, same concepts, java code is probably more portable these days. I personally do not think anyone ever "completes" a language, they just aquire sufficient knowledge of the language to be comfortable in developing programs while using it. A programming language, in and of itself, is too broad of a topic to claim to know it all, for that matter even if one did know the entire language, it would evolve with technology forcing us to relearn the language anyway ;) Infinite Recursion

Reply: (edit)On a side note, having experience in C/C++ will make your journey through Java much easier. I have one of the "Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days" books, and it is fairly nice... I didn't read it for 21 days, I just have it for reference. But with what I do know of the series, I am sure you can get a grasp on Java or at the very least have a good reference book for when you need it. I also suggest looking at code available online to get some hands-on with Java. I'm not too big on the coaching-training concept involved in programming... I am more of a "trial and error" type of guy. Maybe find a friend or two and plow through Java together, helping each other along the way. Just a thought. Infinite Recursion

Reply: (edit)I'm not sure why I did not see your question about the book when I was posting... However, I have several books on Java, but one I reference more than others it is: How to Program Java: Third Edition
(Covers Java 2, Introducing Swing)
Authors: Dietel & Dietel
ISBN: 0-13-012507-5
Price: Around 40.00 - 50.00 (US) I use these websites below, more often: A Sun Java Tutorial (very nice)
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial The Java Standard Edition, v1.2.2 API Specification
