Steven,

See my Java Tips page:
- http://bristle.com/Tips/Java.htm

Especially:

- http://bristle.com/Tips/Java.htm#differences_from_cpp
   -- Notes I took while learning Java as a C++ programmer

- http://bristle.com/Tips/Java.htm#getting_started
  -- Simple, short (one screen of text) intros to Java apps,
      applets, JSP, servlets, Java Beans, JDBC, Javadoc, etc.

- http://bristle.com/Tips/Java.htm#quick_reference
   -- Operators, Literals, Magic code, JVM CLI options

- http://bristle.com/Tips/Java.htm#easing_into_java
   -- Easing into Java, getting started, when/why to use
        various pieces: Struts, JSF, EJB, JMS, Hibernate,
        Spring, etc.

Also, the "Books On-Line" and "Java" rows of my links
page, for free books and other resources:
- http://bristle.com/~fred/#books_online
- http://bristle.com/~fred/#java

And the local PhillyJUG (Java User Group) and others in
my "Meetups" row:
- http://bristle.com/~fred/#meetups

Anything else I can do to help?  As my company motto says:
"Glad to be of service!"

--Fred
