My French cousin, Ludovic Champenois, is one of the stars at Sun and loves JAVA, of course. He siad the best way to get started with JAVA is by getting something called JAVA Blue or Blue JAVA. You know, that doesn't sound right. I thought about doing that route, but it seems so complex, but so is .NET, frankly. I'm happy with C#, ASP.NET, VB.NET and SQL Server and some occasional FoxPro work.
