Learning Java EE, where do I start?

[bloodagar]

Hi! I'm going to be honest and tell you gusy that I want to learn Java
EE because I want a career as a Java programmer in our country.

But I'm wondering, where do I start after learning the core language
(from Sun's tutorials)? What books would you guys recommend? What
technologies should I learn first? I'm lost..

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can start with Khalid Mughal's and Rolf Rasmussen's book: A
programmer's guide to Java certification.

Java how to program : Dietel and Dietel is a good book for beginner's.

Sun's tutorials are awesome !!

Hope this helps buddy. Wish you all the very best !!

Thanks,

Sorry these books are for starting to learn Java programming , they
are not for EE. My bad , I did not read your question properly !

My advice would be to ignore the "EE" bit until you are REALLY
comfortable with Java (SE). I've seen too many colleagues who help
mess up large projects because they have skipped too much of the
basics... which have nothing to do with the Enterprise Edition.

When I say basics, let me give some examples. You need to know and
understanding java.lang.Object's API by heart.. EVERY aspect of it.
Then you need to know most java.lang classes. Then you need to be
quite familiar with the building blocks java.util gives you. Then
java.io. Knowing how to exploit java.net is pretty elementary too.

HTH.

Thanks for the very informative reply. I appreciate you sharing your
wisdom and experience.

Could you suggest tutorials or books that will show me the right
direction? How would you suggest I study Java?
