New language

Alright so i'm not a professional coder but i tought i'd start learning Java.
So now my question to /prog/ is: does anybody know any good places i can start learning Java? Like good PDF's or sites?
And what is the best compiler according to you?

I expect the people the people around me to be capable of paying attention to the details. The following statement..


There is no clear distinction between compiler, interpreter, JITer, etc. -- you're all stupid for arguing about it


Doesn't exactly scream "Hey, I'm detail oriented. Hire me."
