The SunSoft books will definitely be worth watching for--in March.
Just FYI (and to clear up an earlier post), you can find *Java!*, by
Tim Ritchey (isbn 1-56205-533-x), New Riders Publishing, at bookstores
right now. We're updating the book and the CD-ROM in the book for its
second printing right now.
The book's geared for accomplished-to-expert users, but obviously
readers will decide for themselves. Hope this helps a bit.
And the current book list notion is a nice idea.
