Java is a popular programing language that can run on any computer regardless of its architecture. It first appeared in 1995 when it was developed by a group of Sun Microsystems Engineers an d it is now managed by Oracle Corporation.
Before learning to code in Java, it is advisable that you get a strong fundamental grasp of the basic programming concepts. The best way to do this is to learn one of the best and easiest programming languages you will encounter called Python. It is so easy that you can learn its syntax in 1 day and probably be very proficient by the end of the first week.
To write Java code, you are going to need preferably the latest Java Development Kit and an IDE such as jGrasp, Eclipse or NetBeans. There is another handy utility that you will need and that's called a notepad. Most programmers do not need an IDE to write and compile their code, they use notepads and run their code from the command prompt. The best free notepad you can find as of today is Notepad++ and Sublime Text . The next best Java resource you are going to keep in mind is the Java API where all pre-built in classes and methods are listed together with instructions and explanation on how to use them.
Because not everyone has access to the internet, you might want to get a Java reference book from your local bookstore or any of these books from Amazon.

If you have no interest in getting a book, the internet would also be sufficient provided you have full access. Wikipedia and Stack Exchange and other website have proven to be very useful.
