After core Java, you move on to Enterprise Java (aka JEE). This includes JSPs, Servlets, JDBC, JNDI, JMS, etc. Then you learn frameworks like Spring, Struts, JSF, Hibernate, etc.

You can further enhance your java skills by reading design patterns, advanced java concepts book such as Effective Java and Java Concurrency in Practice.

Thanks guys,
Advance Java seems to be a good option, definitely design pattern is also good.

how to start with J2ee... some Do's and Don't. recommended books.
well i prefer learning through case study somewhat project based programming.

please some some book.

You can find a number of good online tutorials. You firstly need an application server. So, download either JBoss or Tomcat, and look for relevant tutorials.

Thanks for your valuable arulk pillai
but will you please name some book for practice as well as theory, and i will definitely keep referring to online tutorials time to time for insight details of some specific topics.
