Kosmik -

Sounds like fun.
http://java.sun.com has a ton of resources for you. The java tutorial is there, with a lot of code samples. There's also a forum there, which might give you ideas as you search that site for answers.

You might want to find a "starting out book" as well, to go over the programming fundamentals as Java implements them (things like loops, arrays, etc). One example, of many I'm sure, is "Java 2: A Beginner's Guide ".

Another approach might be to do a kind of direct learning of Java/programming now (with several books) and then maybe start going through something like "A Beginner's Guide" in detail in a week or two.


Feel free to post or email me with questions.
