looking for help in Java languge

Hello Guys,
I am programmer of Vbasic, and I wanna move to Java language, but I am confused little bit, cause there are many types, so which one is the best...
Is there Java.net?

I'm a little bit confused by your question... there aren't really "types" of Java that I'm aware of. There is stuff like Java EE (Enterprise Edition) but that's not what you're looking for.

I'd just pick up a regular Java book at your local bookstore and dive in. Download an IDE too (I like NetBeans, but a lot of people use Eclipse).

Thanks friend for you response,
I will do what u said, but could u pls tell me from where I can get the java compiler?

cheers

If you get one of the IDEs, you can compile and run from within it. Other than that, do a quick Google for "JDK" (Java Development Kit) and download that.

I really appreciate your help..
Thanks

Get at least JDK 6.
No point going for earlier versions.
And get them from Sun...

Don't rely on the stuff that comes with an IDE (unless it's Netbeans, which comes with the Sun JDKs I think). They can have...quirks.

Also, use the Sun tutorials. Make sure you do the basics stuff first. Do not leap into Applets, Swing, JDBC or any of the other stuff until you grasp the basics.
