You know C++ right, you java should be not much difficult. Get the book Head First Java and read it. And one thing, there is no such thing as pointers in java only references, though it internally uses the concept of pointers, dont confuse between the two, there area lot of low level differences, ok.

Get Head First Java, avery good book, read it chapter by chapter, don't skip any, and try to do exercises, your concepts will be very clear and good. Its avery good and easy to understand book presented in a very good way with no loss in info. You should be able to complete in 15 days. i did it.

What specific implementations do you need?

Learning Java is quite the trial.

To get a decent dosage of Java, I strongly STRONGLY recommend "Java, How to Program 7e" by Deitel & Deitel.

But this isn't good enough. Simply learning the language and some implementations might not be enough. What if you need to implement MVC via JavaScript, DHTML or JSP front-end and Java Servlet Controller with potential Java back-end?

Is the whole application going to be done in Java? Why did you migrate from C++ to Java for your task? What is it that you're trying to accomplish that you feel the need to learn Java?

Please, justify your reasoning.

what is the scope of JAVA? Tell me if I make my career in JAVA. what points I should take to sucess in this career. I am a computer graduate.
