The New to Java Programming Center has recently been redesigned to accommodate more articles and tutorials, community information, and has been organized so the information you need is easy to find.

If you are new to the Java platform, you can use the New to Java Programming Center to get your computer set up with the Java platform, learn the syntax of the Java programming language, and learn how to develop applications for desktops, the web, or mobile devices.

The information listed and linked to the New to Java Programming Center is free. In addition, it lists links to Sun courses and certification training that you can buy.
