I think this thread can also provide some insight to beginners. I came
across a very good website that lists many tutorials on java -

http://freecomputerbooks.com/

Look into computer languages >> Java>>Core java

I will list a few eBooks that I particularly found interesting on this
link. I would be grateful if the experts here can provide some
comments on these books -

"Java By Example" by Clayton Walnum

"Teach Yourself Java Programming in 24 Hours"

"Teach Yourself Java Programming in 21 Days"

"Java Au Naturel" link:http://www.cs.ccsu.edu/~jones/book.htm

"Java Lecture Notes" link:http://www.cafeaulait.org/course/

And WhoTF are you? If we knew who you were from
your string of knowleadgable posts to this group,
we might care what you..

..'think', but otherwise, you just seem like the

Sure. That insight is 'avoid spammers and
astro-turfers like (you might avoid) the plague'.

There's no need to mention what you do
with your 'puter in the privacy of your
own home (so long as no innocent pets, or
children, are involved).

Im not a spammer. My post history doesn't suggest anything like that
so please refrain from making baseless allegations. If you have a
problem, then just don't post.

It does as far as I am concerned. According to my newsreader and Google
groups, you have made precisely three posts under the name 'broli',
including your reply. Each of the original posts were promoting a
different web-site. You have made no posts asking a question about a
Java programming problem. You have made no posts answering a question
about Java. You also post from a gmail account, as many spammers do.

To me, your posting history suggests you are not interested in Java,
only in luring people into clicking adverts that generate revenue for
you. What I expect to find at the websites you promote is a few
plagiarised articles and a bunch of Google Ads.

There must be hundreds, perhaps thousands of websites hosting such
collections of plagiarised and outdated articles. Almost none are worth
reading IMO.

If your posting history is giving a misleading impression of you, you
have some choices of how to deal with that:

a) Alter your behaviour and participate in this community in a way which
builds trust and respect.

b) Flame me.

c) Ignore me.

Wow, RGB, you make a compelling case that 'broli' is a spammer.

broli, this bullshit about "I came across a website" is a red flag for spam.
If you want to recommend a website to a group that is jaded by dozens of such
"I found a website" crap, you'll need to reach out a lot better. Quote parts
of the site, explain how it helped you, and explicitly disavow any personal
connection with such a site.

Otherwise, you pretty much convince everyone right up front that you're a
shill for yet another scam. You should thank Andrew and others who responded,
if you have a legitimate message, for alerting you to this so you can account
for it.
