Could I ask for people's advice on my choice of book:

(my background is 15 years Unix with shell scripting, and a little
understanding of OO from reading beginner's books on C++ and Java)

I'm using Rogers Cadenhead & Laura Lemay's "Sams Teach Yourself Java2 in 21
days" 3rd edition - which is copyright 2003 and covers SDK1.4 so I figured
it is reasonably up to date.

What about the online tutorials (eg Sun's own)?

Many thanks for your replu.
