Kinyau,

Kuhusu vitabu it depends on what your concentration is and what do you want to do.But check out the Eclipse free IDE which you can use to develop Java and gain practical experience.

Ndugu, Kinyau,
C++ na VB ni programming languages zilizotofauti na JAVA, though for those like you who went thru C++, it will be easier to understand JAVA. I recomend the book "JAVA 2 In 21 Days". Vilevile, jaribu kupitia http://java.sun.com utapata mengi humo.
