Thanks for that. Question though. The first book you listed (which got excellent amazon reviews as well) was published in 2008. Typically I've been biased into thinking that a book had to be somewhat recent. Obviously this isn't the case here though. (Do you agree with that in some situations btw?). I would have never purchased this book if you hadn't pointed it out so thanks it's in my cart.

Effective Java is a solid choice, and a lot of the advice is still relevant six years later :) Also, JCIP is a go-to if you want to get more than a passing handle on concurrency in Java.

  Agreed, the java books I listed still provide more value to my core Java than more recent books. I do the majority of my Java work now in the Play framework, when I use a new framework or library blogs and stackoverflow are my go to resources, for a deeper understanding of the library then those books are the way forward.
