I will give you my opinion then let other trash me. I am pretty
new to Java also. Core Java is the first you should learn. It
is java and only java coding where you can run the process from
the command line. This will give you the basis on which to build.
Advanced Java involves the Web, messenging, database access, and a
thing called Enterprise Java Beans, etc. These things enable you to
produce world-class applications.

You don't need the advanced to start out nor would I recommend that.
Learn the basics of java first.

No, absolutely not. However the earlier training you had in C and
C++ will actually apply pretty well. While Java is its own beast,
The creators were smart enough to borrow ideas of good programming
languages that already existed. It is very obvious to me that the
creators knew C++ and took the best while fixing the rest. (IMHO)

Go to java.sun.com. On the right click "Java SE". That will take
you to a page to download "JDK 6 Update 16 with NetBeans 6.7.1".
This package will get you two products: 1. the Java Development Kit
version 6 update 16 and the NetBeans integrated development environ-
ment. You don't need the second item to start, but will want it
as you learn. The text editor in it is geared toward Java and will
help you every step along the way.

As for where to start, here are a couple of suggestions:
1. Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/reference/index.jsp and go through
the Sun tutorials. Stick with the basics though, don't go for web
etc until you are comfortable with the basics.
2. My favorite book is "Thinking in Java" by Bruce Eckel. You can
download the prior version FOR FREE here: http://www.odioworks.com/46-Bruce_Eckel%27s_Free_Electronic_Books.html . The latest revision
is available from most book sellers. However, you will have to be
getting Java pretty good to need something past that free version.
