Many have written tutorials, books, and references on the subject of Java. Being among them, I know that it is no easy task. I thank them because they helped me to learn Java and to write this book. I hope my book has been as helpful to you as these resources have been to me, but, as I said, you can always learn more. These resources will all be good starts.
