I would start by downloading ebooks about Java at ebookee.com. Next, I would register at Oracle Sun's Java website where you can find links to the JDK and NetBeans.
I would strongly suggest though than you consider installing Kubuntu Linux in your computer. This will put you in a mindset of looking for open source software. Since there are a lot of Java code available in the open source community, it will keep you moving forward.

I just suggested using Linux because I noticed that a lot of Java projects out there are using tools that are Linux-based like the code repositories. Anyway, one of these days, you should try turning your PC into a dual boot machine. It's a different feeling to be so technically savvy.
By the way, C# is Microsoft's Java killer. And it's the one really getting popular, if not already number one, in the Windows platform. If you really want to have good programming credentials on the Windows platform, learning C# is better than Java.

Well, first, Java is not an acronym, thus it is Java, not JAVA.
Now, you can start by downloading the Eclipse IDE at eclipse.org
Next, you can search for "thenewboston" on youtube, his name is Bucky and he's making probably the BEST programming tutorials(actually, the best tutorials AT ALL, he has tutorials for many programming languages, even ones on how to build a computer AND a few others like Photoshop and such).

hi leo,
reading the books will not help you to understand the java... you have to train yourself what you read from teh book..
i suggest you some website that helps you to understand the java in easy way.
visit and read www.javapapers.com. this will help you to understand the java and prepare yourself to attend interviews on the java.
then visit roseindia.net.. it has so many tutorials page by page for each and every features in java.. you can make over it with the help of listed java websites.
happy myloting
