Actual Java Beginner Tutorial for experience Flash developer

I am looking for a tutorial to teach an experience Flash/Flex developer the java 6! basics, and later on the java Java EE basics, in English or German.

I only found the Sun Java Tutorials, but I hope someone knows another good tutorial, for example something with an continuous example and not just a list of features like in the Sun Tutorial. (All other tutorial I found was most with Java 1.4 (or older9 or does contain bad coding practices.)

Does anyb开发者_StackOverflowody knows such an actual Java 6 tutorial?

There are great websites with tutorials and what not, but if you invested a few dollars in the following book I guarantee you will not regret it.

there is also a second volume,
