To keep me away from the 'darker side' of computers i was advised by a
computer expert to start learning computer languages. I currently no
small amounts of c++ and html. I was advised that java was a good
starting point, does anyone disagree? What is the best medium for
learning java, book - online tutorial etc. Are there any peices of
software required such as a compiler? Thanks for any info given SK

I liked "Thinking In Java" by Bruce Eckel, because I had experience with
other programming languages. It's a good book, and it's free! Well,
the online version is, at least.

And yes, you do need to get a Java software package to program in Java.
For example: http://java.sun.com/j2se/

Sun also provides some online tutorials:

You might also find it useful to read the first few sections in the Java
Programmer's FAQ, because there are some recommendations for finding
books on Java and getting started programming.

Best of luck to you!
