Get the "Thinking in Java" by Bruce Eckel which is free for download at www.bruceeckel.com. Java compiler is free on the Net also, but I don't have the link off the top of my head. Do a search for that and you should be able to find it easily. After that, it will simply be practice, practice, and more practice.
