Re: Java starting point

[Terrell Deppe <terrell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a book called "Java for RPG Programmers" by Phil Coulthard and George
Farr:

ISBN: 1889671231
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1889671231/qid%3D934814129/002-4058768-0197210

Amazon has rated it 4 out of 5 stars.  I'm a Java programmer, not an RPG
programmer, so I can't comment.  I only know about it because I saw it at
JavaOne this year, and it caught my attention.

For all-around Java learning, you should check out Bruce Eckels book "Thinking
in Java".  It is very well written, and can be downloaded for free or read
directly from his website.

There are a few good resources available from COMMON as well.  The fall '98
conference had some good hands on labs taylored to RPG/COBOL programmers.
