The Java Tutorial is an excellent online recource. As for books, I recommend either
Head First Java or
Thinking in Java. There is an
online version of TIJ's 3rd edition, so you can see what it's like. You can also
download a copy from the author's site. However, the new 4th edition of TIJ (covering Java 5.0) is only available in book form.
