I suppose this is particularly aimed at the computer science people who have done this sort of stuff at uni: any book or tutorial suggestions?
I'm keen on getting my hands on a seemingly abandoned open source project that *could* be really useful to me if it wasn't seriously flawed. I can sort of see what is wrong but as I'm totally ignorant of the language I don't know how to fix it.
I can already program so I'd be looking for more of a 'get to grips with the langauge's features' book than anything else. I grabbed the tutorials from the Sun website and haven't had much of a look at it as yet, but I'm more inclined to have a weighty tome on my desk than squint at a screen and constantly flick between windows. If there are any really good online tutorials then I'd still be happy to use those.
Cheers.

Uni recommend these ones now though for its java classes
An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming in Java (2e) by C. Thomas Wu. McGraw-Hill 2001. ISBN 0-07-118195-4

GOODRICH, M. T. and TAMASSIA, R. Data Structures and Algorithms in Java, John Wiley & Sons, 1997, ISBN 0-471-19308-9
Might have a few eBooks too if you want them.
Also if you get stuck with things just ask.

The Java API is really good. My girlfriend has a very good Java book I can't recall the name of at the moment, and I probably have a number of Java ebooks I haven't looked at. If you want them just post here and I'll host them/send them to you.
Java is really easy if you know OO and you're not scared of C-like syntax.

I got myself a copy of Java for students by Bell and Parr.
That got me through 1 year of computer science work, but then i was forced to give it up.
