I have been teaching myself Java programming for few months now.
Now i am looking for some materials which can help me develop my programming
technics. It will also be useful materials to deepen my understanding to the java programming.

I would appreciate to get some advise.

Are you talking really basic ?
GUI applications ?
JDBC connectivity ?

What sorts of things have you done already?

if you are looking for some tasks to work though that improve problem solving skill and test your abilty to program try http://projecteuler.net/

start from the beginning and work your way through there are over 300 now and they start to get hard quickly.

practice on topcoder or spoj

using the Sun tutorial and some of the exercises there. Also some part of a free online book. that was all. I felt i need to do more exercises to improve on my skills.

On the Netbeans platform, i copied codes i can get free from the internet and tried to understand, ofcourse along with reading the Tutorial on Java (Sun) and some online books. I tried to do several of the problems.

I would say, i am ok with the basics and need to work more
