Yes, there is tons of stuff on java, almost don't know where to
start.  I have different sites with tutorials and that doesn't even
scratch the surface of the search results I got.  Any recommended
beginner sites?  Trying different sites.  Getting slightly confused on
mains, methods, calls...guess I just need time to get use to java
terminology.  Did the Hello World thing and had a giant smile on my
face.  Wonder what it will feel like once I'm able to write an actual
program.

This is same who posted original post.  Finally figured out how to
change my nick.

Thanks for response.
