Thinking in Java by Bruce Eckel is a great introduction to Java with heavy emphasis on OO concepts. Also, the 3rd edition is freely available on-line at the above address.

Also I would recommend downloading the Eclipse IDE from www.eclipse.org (also free.) This is a popular professional grade code editor that will make it easy to start writting real programs once you get past the basics.

Answer 2

You could start with the Sun's Java Tutorial:

The basics are covered: Object oriented programming, the Java language, the essential core classes, etc.

Answer 3

If you like reading books (I prefer books over online tutorials), I'd recommend "Head First Java, 2nd Edition" by Kathy Sierra, Bert Bates

The book is awesome! Specially if your are young and have a sense of humor. I'm 23 and I really enjoyed it.

There is also www.javaranch.com

The website has some tutorials and cool stuff that can help you learn while still enjoying the ride.
