This website has helped me learn C++ well, so also has the website "www.learncpp.com".

I wanted to know if there are any such online resources for studying JAVA from scratch or any wonderful websites for learning JAVA suited to beginners?

All help will be appreciated.

http://javalessons.com/ -- nice and friendly
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/ -- from the horse's mouth
http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs106a/ -- if you want to get serious

(the Stanford CS106A is introductory in the university (US school?) sense.)

And this site might also be of interest:

My Java 7 OCA/OCP study book had some pretty obvious mistakes in it. I would lean more toward community-written content.

Thanks a lot. That list was just too good.

Appreciate the help. :)
