Wikipedia has related information at Java (programming language).

If you have questions related to Java, ask at the Q&A.

A printable version of Java Programming is available. (edit it)

If you have programmed before and would like to see a little bit of how Java works and is different from other programming languages, an overview is available.

The Java™ language is an object-oriented programming language created by Sun Microsystems. It was named after the Indonesian isle of Java, whence great coffee has flowed.

This book is an introduction to the amazing breadth of the Java programming language and platform. A full treatment of Java would be an enormous book; this book will concentrate on the essential aspects of Java necessary to understand the language and platform.

This book tries to touch as many aspects of java as possible, and as so it can be considered as a reference book of Java and its related technologies.

Other special purpose books on Java, such as Java Enterprise Edition programming, or Java Swing programming, with more details, would complement this book nicely.

For more information, read the Java Overview and the History of Java.
