Hi all. Any recommendations for books or resources to learn Java? I learned Clojure already but I want to learn Java so I can get a job in Java as a stepping-stone to getting a job in Clojure.

Wacky looking cover, but the book (or at least the previous version I read) is pretty good https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/head-first-java/9781492091646/

It would be good to get a book on spring boot as well, that’s a huge slice of the Java job market

Great. Thanks!

The Well Grounded Java Developer 2nd edition is a great book as well

Depending on your needs, I used this book to get up-to-speed relatively quickly: https://horstmann.com/javaimpatient/
