This is kind of an odd question, but here goes.
I've done my fair share of programing; I've writen many web apps (php,sql,javascript), been school using C++ (for 4 years), and have used VERY basic java in an internship. I am familiar with how computers work with memory management, also with standard control structures, and I'm even familiar with the java api.
I'm looking for a good resource to learn java as an architecture. I can write classes and functions and all that 200 level CS stuff, what I'm confused about is all stuff such as Java Beans, Struts, Deployment, JSP, EJBs, java GUI (swing and AWT I guess), Enterprise Java, so on so forth. I only have the vaugest of ideas of what they are. I'd really like to how all this stuff fits together.
Do any of you have any reccomendations for such resources?
Again, I'm not looking for an API refference (java.sun.com is good enough) I'm looking for an introduction to Java the language from an experienced programers perspected and an Introduction to the architechture of the Java world. In short; less specific more conceptual.
Thanks!
