Help with learning Java?

Question

I've gotten fairly well with JavaScript. But I want to begin with stand alone Java. Although I can't find a windows download for coding Java. Can anyone give me a link to one?

First of all, I want to say that JavaScript has nothing to do with Java. Hope you realize that before you learn Java.

To get started, you need to install the JDK (Java Development Kit).
Download Link: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u2-download-1377129.html

Next, you need a IDE. It would work just fine if you program in a text editor, however, I would still suggest you to get a IDE, such as NetBeans or Eclipse.

Download Link for NetBeans: http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html
Download Link for Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

You don't need to have both NetBeans and Eclipse. Well, it's stupid to have both because they do almost the same thing (in the view of a beginner).

After all, you need to have the API downloaded. It's like the library for Java.

You can just download the Java runtime from Sun and compile files.

Try a site like download.com for some free Java code programs.

Look for free online tutors for Java, heck your on Yahoo, do a search for "Java Tutorial".
