Hello, Just wanted to pass along that at jguru.com they have posted a full set of tutorials. These start at the basics of Java and go all the way through the more advanced topics. Check it out here.
I've had a quick peep at this site, and it's very nice looking. There are plenty of exercises which is very useful for people who aren't getting enough programming practice elsewhere. The solutions are given at the site, so it lacks the personal touch at Javaranch.
