	I have a young teenage daughter who is interested
in programming.  She has been messing around with something 
on Kahn Academy's web site which uses Javascript.  A friend
of mine has a teenage son who is also interested in learning
how to program.  I would like to get them started with Java,
but Google has 9.5 million hits for: "Introduction to 
programming in Java"  

	Does anyone have recommendations for an online
forum which teaches the basics of programming, using Java?

	I have read some of the current thread about what 
is teaching Java.  Here is what I would like:

Good introduction to real programming
Teaches the basics - make no assumptions on what the student already knows
Simple exercises to make sure they understand the concepts
Online video would be nice
Free would be nice


	If you have a strong recommendation for a good book,
I would also appreciate that.  (Amazon lists almost 800 books
for the same pattern.


	Thanks.
