Here are my "Java Training Instructions" that I send to people
asking for help to learn Java: These here are the best Java
resources to help you with getting started Programming In Java:

First, download the software tools and then get the
free training courses, tutorials, and books that teach
you about programming in Java.

Step 1 - Learn to create Java Applications and Applets

Java is an extraordinarily popular programming
language. Evidence of that is the significant quantity
of tutorial material just waiting for an interested
reader. Two of these sites stand out from the pack for
beginning programmers.

Richard Baldwin's Java Tutorials:
http://www.phrantic.com/scoop/toc.htm
http://www.phrantic.com/scoop/onjava.html

Richard has put together a wonderful series of
tutorial pages that have something to offer for every
level of Java programmer. You can start with his
introductory lessons and eventually study your way all
the way to the advanced tutorial. He gives you literally
100s of lessons for free.

The Java Tutorial:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/

This is an outstanding on-line book that is now in print
as three separate books. The trails through the tutorial
sometimes use advanced concepts before they have
been introduced, but you can always back up and find
an explanation for everything they put in their examples.

Here are some other good beginning Java sites:

Step 2 - Get the Java Software Development Kit

Once you have the material to read, either on-line or
downloaded to your local drive, it's time to get the
the Java Software Development Kit (SDK).

Java 2 SDK: http://java.sun.com/j2se/

When you download the Java 2 Software Development
Kit, you really get a lot more than just a compiler. You
also get everything you need to compile, run, test, and
debug a Java program. You can also download the
documentation for the Java class Libraries in HTML
format.

Here are some sites that help you set up the Java Development Kit:

Step 3 - Enter the code statements

Lastly you need to use an editor for entering your
source code statements. You could use a simple
text editor to write the code, and save it to a file with
the extension of .java. Then you would execute the
various JDK tools from the command line. However,
there is an easier and more efficient method. You
ccan use one of these free Java Integrated
Development Environments (IDEs):

RealJ IDE for Java:
http://web.archive.org/.../http://www.realj.com/bin/realjn.exe

If you are using a Windows platform to write your Java
programs then this is a good choice for the editor. Unlike
most of the commercial IDEs that have their own compiler
integrated, FreeJava relies on the Sun JDK. When the
Editor/IDE development is decoupled from the compiler,
it gives you the advantage of being able to change to the
latest JDK without waiting for the tool vendor to create a
new version of IDE.

JEdit:
http://www.jedit.org

If you are not using a Windows platform, or you want a
tool that runs on Windows and other operating systems,
then JEdit is a good choice. This tool works on multiple
development platforms, such as Windows and Solaris.
It works the same no matter which OS is currently running
in the background. Once you get it up and running, it runs
great using the JDK 1.2.

Step 4 - Start Coding!

Once you get these books and tools installed it's time
to start coding those examples and exercises.
