[ILUG] Java Training in Ireland?

[Kevin Philp]

I have used his thinking in C++. Its excellent but depends on where you are 
coming from. If you have significant experience in other languages or have a 
basic knowledge of the language but want to extend it then they are 
excellent. if you are new to programming they probably dive in a bit too deep 
a bit quick.

For java I started with the online tutorial on the Sun website and then used 
used the book "Java 2: How to Program by Deital & Dietal which is also good 
as a reference book for later on. Also to learn how your programmes work have 
a look at http://www.bluej.org/ which was developed specifically has a 
programming environment to teach java.... create your classes and test them 
without running a full programme.
