I started Java from reading "Thinking in java", skipping such things as GUI, etc, and concentrating on concurrency and java-features, It took few weeks and was enough to pass interview to get the job of junior java developer :)

Then, at Facebook Inc. cool guys recommended me to read Effective Java. It is done for those who are ready to make code in Java already (ex. have read Thinking in java and practiced) and clarifying tones of moments for making clean, effective and productive code.

Good luck!

    "Effective Java" is great. It is not about Java language, but about Java best practices. I can suggest to read it if one already understand basics of the language. It is "must read" if you are going to write enterprise Java code.

http://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/java_tutorial.pdf — it is good for basic programming and fuctions.

http://portal.aauj.edu/e_books/teach_your_self_java_in_21_days.pdf — it is good to learn advanced functions in java.

What about a C++ book equivalent to "Effective Java"? Can someone recommend one ?
