    Since you know procedural coding, I'd think an important thing would be to learn OOP.
    The java language isn't too different than most modern languages. It the use of classes and the packaged classes from Sun that take a lot of effort to learn.
    The Tutorial is very good.

    My background was as a Systems Programmer for the IBM VM system.
