I have no idea about books/websites as i started it as a course in the school, or book was called Java Swing i think and it was written by our tutor. Wasn't that good i think since i spent most of my time on the internet when i got stuck Didn't use a specific page tho.

I would guess all starting books/websites are equally good use different programming styles.

Good page(not starting tho but you will need it )

I started on Objects First with Java. Easy book with alot of examples and theory in it. Not hard at all to understand and get started with. It uses the BlueJ environment just to give you an easy start on handling classes, methods and objects. Also makes it easier because its got a GUI that graphically shows what classes extends which...

Later on you'd have to move on to emacs (or notepad or w/e fits you).

Havent really been doing any javascript :>
