macOS Java EE and Glassfish

[hiddenpremise]

My company is migrating to using a Java EE and Glassfish implementation for our web applications. I have no previous Java experience. Does anyone know of a good book for quickly learning Java and and a book for quickly learning the Glassfish server? If there is one book that covers both, that would be awesome. I have experience with Ruby, Obj-C, C, C++, etc so picking up a new language shouldn't be hard, I just haven't found a good beginners book for Java.

Thanks,
W

The best book for learning Java imo is "The Java Programming Language" Fourth Edition.

As for learning Java EE and Glassfish the documentation here is all you need:
