Here's how to get started.

The internet can be a good resource for learning. If I was on my home PC right now, I could give you tons of sites I have in my favorites, but since I'm not home, I'd suggest that you type "Java turorials" into Google and see what you get. From there, it's a matter of downloading Java, writing the code in Notepad (if you want to compile via the console; I use either TextPad or Eclipse when I code, because it will compile your code without you having to type any nasty console commands), compiling the code, and seeing what happens. Also, if Java is your first language, I'd suggest learning some more entry-level languages first. I started programming in BASIC, moved on to Python, then to C, then to C++, and now I'm in college learning Java. Next year I learn C#.

So, yeah, much unlike brain surgury (hopefully), with programming, you simply learn by doing, messing up, and fixing. (NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS METHOD WITH BRAIN SURGURY. YOU DO HAVE A 99% CHANCE OF ENDING UP IN JAIL.)

cheers mate :D dont worry i wont try brain surgery lol. just wondered do you know anythin about php or mysql?

Re: how to get java?
 

I don't know much about PHP or MySQL, really. I believe MySQL is quite complex, though. PHP is something I'm pretty much clueless about at the moment. Sorry. I wish I could help. Honestly, though, I just don't know much about those two things at the moment. Both are things I'd like to learn, but I haven't yet.
