I'd recommend you buy yourself a couple of java books - one really basic one to get you started and something a little more advanced to use once you've found your feet. I'd also say that in my experience the second book should be a book containing loads of sample programs that you can read/type yourself in order to learn the more advanced features and so on.
Hope this helps,
Craig

yes, buying books also is a great idea. If you've read through them once you can still use them as a reference. But, some are inbelievably expensive...

Oh yeah. Over here it's like fifty to seventy for the really good ones. I got my big gaming book on sale on the net though for thirty.

Its not that expensive to buy books - I bought Java: How to Program (very good java book in my opinion) for £30 (yes, I'm english) and Java Game Programming for Dummies (as an introduction to graphics) for £29 when I started java two years or so ago.
You just have to make sure that the book is well worth buying and suits the way in which you prefer to program before you spend your money.

And when you convert that to US currency it's about what I said above. It really stinks. That's why the library is so great.

In many cases you can still keep to online resources. Maybe it's not the best source for real newbies, but you can get more than enough good documentation on almost every topic there.
