I am an experienced programmer, but have not used Java too much (about
one year) but
this was sometime ago.

I am interested in learning Java programming more for doing scientific
and physics
simulation and animation by writing applets.

I see many resources on the net, but I think if I can have one good
book to study from,
it might be better.

What do folks here recommend? Get a good book? which one do you
recommend?

Any other advice is welcome.

Thank you,
Steve
