OK. Years ago, i used to program a little (Fortran, Cobol, a bit of Pascal,
a lot of compiled dBase - anybody remember that one? :-). No object-oriented
languages (altho i did read up on C - not C++ - a little).

So, anybody got a good Java teaching book for an out-of-date
just-barely-programmer type such as myself?
