Thanks guys! Java for Dummies looks like a good one. I definitely need one that is not too complicated to begin with! Stabering, who is the author of your Java 6 book? I tried to look it up, but google came up with a lot of different ones about java 6.
I am also wondering if it would be better to start with learning JavaScript before I start learning Java. I know that they are somewhat different. Is it better to learn JavaScript first or does that make any difference?
