hello. im completely new to Java. i have done quite a bit of C# in the past, so that should be an advantage really. my question is, which area or section of Java should i start studying (i dont need to go through console applications..) to have a quick start into building graphical applications, then maybe mobile phones apps or even something for the web? could please anybody advise me? cheers

Jump to PostI would start here:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/
It gives a real good overview of the basics of Java. Also check out NetBeans for your IDE, it can help to guide you as well.
Jump to PostNetBeans or Eclipse. I use Eclipse and love it.
I'm assuming you can understand the basics and just don't know java's capabilities and syntax. If you really want to jump straight into GUIs, do a google search for "java layouts" and "java swing."
