Hello guys.
After some time searching around the forums for a thread about an e-book for crash course from C++ to Java and no luck I decided to post a thread about it.

So my question is,does anyone has or knows such book?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe we could start with which language you know, and how well you know it.

Learn C++
Learn Java
The "how to go from x to y" problem will then be self evident to you.

Seems like I have a lot more luck than you:

(the Java e-book is for and older Java version, 1.4 I believe, but is still useful)
Have success reading them :P

commented: Great choice. It's a really a good book. +16

Hi :)

Maybe this can be of some use to you:

http://www.onesmartclick.com/programming/java.html
On this site there is a pdf file "Java to C++ Transition Tutorial"
I know that you are going the other way but when I looked (very briefly) it compared a lot of code snippets in both language, so that could be useful.

A Java tutorial whit five lessons and the first is Java vs C++.
It looks at C++ Arrays vs Java Arrays and C++ Classes vs Java Classes

After some research,I decided to go with "Head First Java,2nd Edition".
It's not as the book I was looking for,but it seems it is one of the best books for learning Java.
Thank you everyone.

I also own a copy of that book and I have to say one thing: It's a great book!
