I'm wanting to start using Java.

...yeah, I already know some 'action script' (Flash programing) and I definetly know some Python, so I think I'm ready to learn Java.

The problem is I don't know where to start. So what should I do

These are a good place to start.

Thanks a ton! I'll get right on i-oh crap! Maybe later, I gotta go!

As long as you keep in mind Java needs your patience, you should be golden. I wish you luck.

Here is a tutorial I found you, let us know if it is too strong:

(1) You'll need proper software, a good time to download Eclipse, I would choose JEE version just in case you need to go crazy:-)

(2) You'll need to make sure to grab latest version of NetBeans, do some reading on Java Technology, and have fun;-)

In a bit!

it is also possible to learn Java using just a simple, free text editor like TextPad:

And compiling and running code from the command line. (TextPad also has menu item short cuts.) Many Java developers feel that starting out like this teaches you the basics without having the IDE get in the way.
