MAC OS X FOR JAVA GEEKS by Will Iverson
If you are planning to do any work in Java and the Mac is your development (or deployment) platform, you gotta get this book. I know I'll be coming back to it over and over.

HEAD FIRST JAVA by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates
O'Reilly has just released the BEST Java book ever! The book is hefty, yet the pages boast a surprisingly large amount of white space. Sprinkled in among the text and figures are what look like hand-written annotations which explain nearly every aspect of what appears in the figures.
If you need to learn Java, then I can say without reservation that this book is a must.

SAFARI ONLINE BOOKSHELF from O'Reilly
I've been using the Safari Bookshelf for a couple of months now, and I have a pretty good feeling as to what it is good for, and what it isn't. I've been lucky enough to receive this service free for one year, and I'm really trying to take advantage of the opportunity. The big decision is going to come next February... do I renew and actually pay the 14.99 monthly fee?

PHILIP AND ALEX'S GUIDE TO WEB PUBLISHING by Philip Greenspun
This fairly technical work is called a "must read" by nearly all who own it. MIT's Philip Greenspun cuts through the crap and delivers highly useful chapters on building a web site that really works.
