I don't have a Scooby!
If this is the first time you have tried to use Java then you will first need to set up your environment. This is explained in a seperate file, that you should look at, before returning here to read on.
Sun's Java Tutorial provides a very informative introduction to the Java programming language. This is also avilable locally(if you are logged into the network). We are unable to make it globally readable due to licensing restrictions. It is also wise to check the Sunsite copy before looking at the local copy to make sure we have the latest version available. If this is not the case, a quick email to Java Support will probably help the local version update quicker.
There is another java tutorial written by some dudes in India. It has a less formal approach but it covers the stuff, and is reasonably easy to read. I haven't checked it out fully as one tutorial is normally enough, but if Sun's approach is really not suitable for you this is an alternative that, with a brief inspection, seems to be quite adequate. It even seems to go into some areas that the Sun Tutorial avoids.
For a more solid form of documentation you can always check out the Support Office Documentation Library which has volumes on all sorts of Computer related thingies, including Java. Alternatively there is always James Thins in KB Center. They are normally well stocked with Java related books, but choose with care as many books are just printed versions of the source documentation available online - which apart from anything else is more helpful once you understand what you are trying to do, and not very good at teaching what's what.
