Hi, I'm looking for some assistance to begin coding in Java, and I don't really know where to begin. I'm still attending school, and will be taking Java as an elective, but I still want to try to get a head-start, because I am very proficient in math, love (and am exceptionally good with) computers, and I just basically like to get down to the bits and pieces of things and wrap my brain around them. Basically, I'd like to know where I can find any guides and downloadable programs (links = preferred, free if possible ;-]) that can direct me how to start. So, just to clarify, I'm not looking to get into specific fields of coding or anything, I just want to start chewing on the nuts and bolts. Thanks so much!

Best Wishes, CCVM.

That is exactly what can be found in the "Read Me" post which is stickied at the top of this forum: http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread99132.html

Oh, thanks very much.
