有什么能快速上手 Java 的好书或资源推荐吗？我对 Java 书籍的了解可能已经相当过时了，但我当年读 Deitel & Deitel 的《Java 大学教程》（Java: How To Program）还是收获颇丰的。另外，现在网上哪里能找到活跃的 Java 社区？我脑子里能想到的有 http://www.jroller.com、http://www.theserverside.com、http://saloon.javaranch.com……
Any recommendations on books or resources to get up to speed with Java quickly My knowledge of Java books is probably pretty out of date, but I got some mileage out of the Deitel & Deitel book Java: How To Program. Also, where can the java community be found online? http://www.jroller.com http://www.theserverside.com http://saloon.javaranch.com all come to mind...
要想全面了解 Java，你提到的那本资料（Deitel 的《Java 大学教程》/Java - How to Program）是个极好的来源。我建议你用它来熟悉 Java 最基础的内容。你不需要从头到尾一页不落地读完整本书，但至少读到足以让你……
For an overview of Java, the book resource you cited (Deitel Java - How to Program), is an excellent source. I would suggest that you use it to familiarize yourself with the very basics of Java. You don't have to go through the entire book cover to cover, but enough of it that you…
……获益良多，而且我觉得自己对各种概念有了扎实全面的理解（这种感觉我在读其他大多数书时是体会不到的）。确实，它没有涵盖高阶内容，这也是为什么我后来还买了《Advanced Java How to Program》。
…lot and I felt that I had a solid and complete understanding of the concepts (not a feeling I get when reading most other books). True it didn't cover the advanced stuff which is why I bought 'Advanced Java How to Program' as well.
……还有 Deitel 的书。我或许还可以提一下 Steve McConnell 的《快速软件开发》（Rapid Development）和《代码大全》（Code Complete）。另外《程序员修炼之道》（The Pragmatic Programmer）也对我产生了一些影响。[1]：包括《C: How to Program》、《C++: How to Program》和《Java: How to Program》。

I'm going through a Deitel "Java - How to Program, 9th ed." book. I'm wondering how much of this is relevant to Android. Should I be starting from the Android tutorials and working backwards first? In other words, learn things from the Android side,…

Deitel & Deitel 写的《Java 大学教程》（Java, how to program），或者 Steven Holzner 写的《Java 编程黑宝书》（Java Programming Black book）。什么都比不上一本好书。
Java, how to program by Deitel & Deitel. Or the Java Programming Black book by Steven Holzner. Nothing beats a good book.

……开发移动 App，先从 Android 开始。我的背景只有 perl/bash/SQL——就是写写脚本而已。我知道做 Android 得懂 Java，但我的问题是……要懂多少？我正在啃一本 Deitel 的《Java 大学教程 第9版》（Java - How to Program, 9th ed.）。我想知道这里面的内容有多少跟 Android 相关？我是不是应该先从 Android 教程入手，然后再反向倒推着学？换句话说，从 Android 这边开始学，……
