JAVA education

Folks:

What approaches are people taking to LEARN java?  

It's not exactly a easy switch for RPG/COBOL programmers to switch to 
a C++ paradigm.  

Personally: I dropped $50 and picked up "Teach Yourself JAVA in 21 
days, Professional Reference Edition".  It's not too bad so far, 
although there are 7 extra days in the book (BONUS).  It comes with a 
CD with the Sun JDK for Windows & Mac and a collection of demo IDE's.

Sometimes you have loose your mind to come to your senses.
