Where do i start?

[h4344]

Im new to java and i want to learn as much as i can from it. Could anyone point me in the right direction where i should go to learn more? To give an example of my current skill's with java this is something i know and understand (also i know this could be simpler but i figured i would throw something else in for fun:

public class helloworld {

public static void main(String[] args) {

String a = "hello";
String b = "world";

System.out.println(a);
System.out.println(b);

}

}

Over at the Java Progamming Forums they have this thread

500 Ways to Print 1 to 10

Maybe they should start a similar "Hello World" thread.

One thing that really helped me was a video series from one of Stanford University's Comp Sci intro courses that is available on iTunes(completely free) it is about 25 or 30 one hour lectures that will cover most of the basics of Java. The course is title Programming Methodology and you can find it by searching in iTunes store.
