Hope you don't mind me suggesting one, but this tutorial worked great for me...It's a little old, but very good.

Hi server_crash,

Tks for your inject.

Some folks suggest me to learn java from "source code to some simple applets". Can you point me where can I find a collection of java simple applets with source code.

TIA

Buy a book about java

[jwenting]

Correct. Buy Head First Java and work your way through that.
The only thing which gets close in quality is the official Sun tutorial.

Plus it's much easier to have a book in front of you, that you can search through and stuff...I mean at least I prefer a book much more than having to stare at my computer screen, and stuff.

same here. I find myself printing out articles on new tech for which I don't (yet) have books and reading the prints...

Hi folks,

Tks for your advice.

My practice in learning new technology is similar to jwenting's. I printed out the the important pages of the technical articles on recycle paper.
