  The best source for learning JAVA is the online Java tutorials.
  The Really Big Index
  Java Tutorials Learning Paths
  The Java™ Tutorials
  
  The above three links are one and the same , only organisation of index is different.
  The tutorial starts from scratch as you ask.
  
  It is also available in book format in case you don't like reading from a PC.
  
  Amazon.com
  or on #-Link-Snipped-# ,where it is currently out of stock.
  
  Head first Java is another good book which has a very friendly informal style of teaching.Though some of the content wouldn't be covered.

  Head First Java - Kathy Sierra, Bert Bates - Google Books limited preview.
  
  Of course before learning Java it would be an added advantage if you know C programming because Java syntax is similar to C. In case you don't know much C, you should study K and R.The C Programming Language

  I'd strongly recommend Head First series to any computer programming novice. But if you're already skilled in one or the other programming languages (say: C, C++), you can go with the other advanced books.

  I'd strongly recommend Head First series to any computer programming novice. But if you're already skilled in one or the other programming languages (say: C, C++), you can go with the other advanced books.

  i recommend to first get the overview of language by reading simple books like the one by Balaguruswami, and then to read in detail with head-first java.
