Free JAVA course, [Y] or [N]?

Sup /prog/.
I am being given the opportunity to take a course in JAVA for free from my house.
I know a little bit of VB.
Should I take it?
What does /prog/ think of JAVA? Could I use it to widen my horizons and understand more of programming?

They are not the same language. If you want to do web programming in Java, you can, but I wouldn't. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any websites I visit that use Java applets, and I didn't even bother to install a Java Plugin this time around.
