I'm an experienced programmer and would like to learn Java, in order to make myself more marketable.

In particular, during the period 1968-1978 I worked years as a Scientific Progammer, primarily programming in Fortran IV (66?).  Since then, I have occasionally programmed in SNOBOL, PASCAL, BASIC, Plato, Fortran 95 and C++.  Thus, I don't need a beginner's book.

Any recommendations on books for learning Java?

Dan
