I'm currently doing Perl development, but there's a fair bit of Java code at work .. so I'm wondering if any monks can recommend a book, website or approach they found useful when getting up to speed.
My background in Perl started in about '98, after about 15 years of developing C (with a few years of Pascal thrown in for good measure). Before that, I did development in a variety of assemblers (x86, 68000, 6809). I never did any C++, so any OO nomenclature I've picked up has been via Perl's take on OO.
What I've seen of Java is that it's very hierarchical, and is also exception based -- Try::Tiny seems to neatly encapsulate the try / catch of Java.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
