I've coded bith C++ and Java and in the end I found Java was the easier language to start with. Mostly because you don't have all those pointers and memory issues to worry about (well, you can get mempry probs in Java as well, just not as easy as in C++).

I also coded VB but that language while good for the client side of things falss behind on the other two fast when you start talking about the server side. And the lack of OO means your code usually gets a meess (at least mine did).

As mentioned above, when considering Java, the SUN tutorial page is a great place to start. I also suggest either the SUN forums for support or http://forums.devx.com/forumdisplay.php?f=154

Both have a very active userbase with lots of people ready to answer your questions.

If you want you could also add me to your msn (mark_schrijver@hotmail.com) I'm euro based with a regular job, so I might not be able to answer all the time though.
