Hey guys im starting uni soon where ill be studying software engineering. :)

Java will be the language ill be using so can anyone recommend me some decent books/Online tutorials?

Thanks
 
Awesome, me too. What uni are you going to?

Absolute Java (Fourth Edition)

It's what I am using just now as I will be using java in my second year. It has really helped with some confusing topics although it's rather pricey.
 
We started with "Objects First with Java: A Practical Introduction Using BlueJ" which helped a lot with the initial concepts of object oriented programming in Java, but after the first semester the BlueJ interface was very limiting so we switched to Netbeans, which is where most people started to have troubles understanding what was going on.

Personally I think it was a good introduction, but it's not for everyone.

I get angry at people who prefer Eclipse over Netbeans. Netbeans is amazing.
 
Anyone using IntelliJ?

I haven't been a Java developer any more(switched to the "dark side"), but it seems to me like I see more IntelliJ than Eclipse/Netbeans among Java devs on the conferences and courses I've been to recently. Although, my sample size is probably not big enough to make it relevant.
