I am looking for input on the best books/resources for learning Java and JavaScript. The students will be familar with programming in general but will be new to Java/JS. Thanks...DS

As far as Java, check the "Read Me" thread at the top of this forum. For JavaScript, I couldn't say, because they are not the same thing and not used in the same context. You may want to check in the JavaScript forum for that.

The University i'm studying at suggests using

“Introduction to Java Programming (Sixth Edition) - Comprehensive Version”
By Y.Daniel Liang
Prentice Hall – Pearson International
ISBN 0-13-2221586

Since the Uni is assuming that the students have little or no knowledge of java, i think that book is a good starting point.
