I'm a fairly proficient programmer in C++ (and some<br>
othe languages), and would like to know how Java <br>
differs from C++, what do I need to know that is <br>
different from C++ in general coding technique?<p>
If someone could point out a web site or tutorial<br>
that tells me how to do basic Java from a C++ <br>
background that would be helpful

I don't know any good on-line tutorials, but if you'd like to invest in a book, "Java in a Nutshell" is excellent. I was even able to learn Java from that book with no prior knowledge of object oriented programming.<br>
