Learn Java web programming

I am a VB.Net programmer with experience in several languages that would like to learn Java web development. My company is setting it as the standard for future development and I may be asked to convert sometime soon or have an opportunity to join a Java team. I found this link to some tutorials and IDEs, but it is nearly a year old.

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28178896/What-development-tools-and-other-technology-tools-can-I-use-to-study-JAVA-programming.html

The few examples I have seen, it looks very similar to C# and I have a little experience in that so I am hoping it isn't too steep of a learning curve.

I plan on downloading Eclipse and diving in, but are there any must have books to learn Java?

Great suggestions! I am on vacation in a couple of weeks and plan to immerse myself into the Java world for a few days.

Thanks,

This may be an older book (2003) however it really helped me when I started working with Java:

"Java | Practical Guild for Programmers" by Zbigniew M. Sikora

It assumes you already know how to program and focuses on the syntax and language specific features of Java.

That is one of the things I love about EE. There are often great suggestions even after points have been awarded for a question! Thanks, I will check it out.
