Can anyone suggest the best way to go about learning some basic JAVA coding?

I have recently begun work on a website and trying to take the easy option, being a newbie to website design, I purchased a template which is coded in Java.

I am trying to customise my template to make it more original, using Dreamweaver as an editing tool. I can handle some of the very basic changes through trial and error etc but I would really like to gain some basic knowledge of Java which would help me in this sort of task.

Any reccomendations of where to start?

Thanks.

I think you should study JSP or JSTL.

If you know basic java knowledge ,you can master JSP easily

Here is an excellent book: Information Systems Programming with Java 2nd ed, ISBN 0-13-101860-4. And, yes I would agree, learn JSP if you are using Java with a website. Also, read up on MVC software design model. This will get you into the mind set to understand JSP.

Actually, we need to start a thread about Java Server Faces JSF.

www.developerzone.biz is a very good resource as mentioned by Teddy.

For learning basics, "Heads First Java" - Kathy Sierra is a very good book.

http://www.adaptivelearningonline.net is a website I started sometime back to offer web based courses on Java programming and software design best practices. The "Java Programming Best Practices" course is free. You are welcome to take it.

Sang Shin also has some good resources on his website at
