As I mentioned, the Deitel book is very good, but it can be
intimidating. Has a lot of very good examples, and you can even build an
elevator in your house. Many of the smaller books are nice, and give you
insights on style, but from my standpoint, the easiest way to learn a
computer language is by coding. Whenever I am not 100% sure how
something actually works, I try to code it. One of my favorites is
Wirth's balanced binary tree example in Pascal that I have recoded in C,
C++, and Java.
