Just wear the fucking mask, Bob

I don't care how many people I probably infected with COVID-19 while refusing to wear a mask, my comfort is far more important than the health and safety of everyone around me!
Book recommendation? I don't want to sludge through 122 pages and there isn't one in the OP/first page.

I have some creaky old 'Learning Java' from 10 years ago but I'll just buy something new. I know C and Ruby (and did -some- basic Java a long, long time ago) so I don't need anything geared toward complete beginners.

Strangely enough there are only a few Java books at the local Barnes and Noble for me to look through and they are all 4 years old, and there are so many books on Amazon I don't know which to begin looking through.

Best book, or way to learn Java for someone who hasn't touched it since applets and Java 2?

Could you elaborate on this a bit? Interesting (and possibly important) to me.

You might find this link interesting - it talks about some of those details and has a link to pigz which is a parallelized gzip
