Where is a good place to start?
If anybody could refer some good easy books to start me on the right path for beginner java and then what I should read or do to further my knowledge to intermediate or master level it would be much appreciated.

I would not mind passing the SCJP either to prove to employers I have the required skills. Let me know what you think.

Ryan Hickman wrote:Well I am just mainly concerned with mastering the essentials for a web development job. I enjoy coding but in reality I need the $$ just like everyone else so I am mainly concerned with just learning what employers want me to know. Which I assume is beginner, intermediate, and Java Enterprise?
Ryan Hickman wrote:So data structure, networking, micro, games, image processing shouldn't really be on my priority list? Just beginner, intermediate, enterprise, object orientation, and web application and data base? Do you think I can get all of this done within 9 months- a year? I feel like beginner and intermediate would be enough to get me a job but object orientation, enterprise, and web application and database are a plus to have.
The place I am applying to wants all of the following:
In depth Java knowledge including core JDK 5+, design patterns, and JSP with JSTL
Knowledge of JavaScript and CSS
Experience working with Spring and Hibernate frameworks
Working knowledge of SOA and REST concepts
Experience working with XML, XPath and XSLT
Database development experience (SQL, PL/SQL, JDBC, data modeling, query tuning, Oracle, PostgreSQL or other RDMS) with ORM
Comfortable working with Apache Tomcat or other application servers in Linux and Windows development environments
Understanding application development for multi-datacenter clustered server environment
Experience with modern IDE (IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, NetBeans)
Ability to work in test driven development environment
Experience with JUnit, ANT, and version control systems(preferably SVN)
Mobile App Development is a plus (iPhone, iPad, Android)
Good team player that works well in agile environment
Excellent communication skills
Self starter with ability to work independently with minimal supervision
Interest in new and emerging technologies
Good problem solver with creative and analytical mind
I have no idea what the underlined parts mean or if they are essential. I feel like if I am a good Java coder and can make an app from start to finish that would be enough. Let me know your thoughts.

It's exactly the same and completely different as this tiny ad:
