New Study the Sybex book
Complete Java\ufffd 2 Certification Study Guide, 4th Edition

Really.

Run through it 1/2 a dozen times before you start on the computer itself. Do NOT read a chapter, do some exercises. read another, do some more, etc. Study the book first for quite a while, end to end.

And then start going through the exercises. Take the tests at the end of each chapter. Multiple times. Until you have internalized the WHY things are a certain way, as well a WHAT.

At the same time, work the the "Core" Java series from PTR/PH-Sun publishing.

New That's odd
The [link|http://www.sybex.com/sybexbooks.nsf/booklist/4077?OpenDocument|original] lists for $59.99, online for $15. The [link|http://www.sybex.com/sybexbooks.nsf/booklist/4276?OpenDocument|4th Editition] lists for $49.99, online for $39.99. I think I'll try the library first in any case.

New Nothing odd about it
Prices drop.
Original publication price was when Java was HOT. Later publication prices are in a more competitive market. But the most recent one is still more relevant, so its current selling price is more than the older one, even though the older one started at a higher price.
