Java Tutorials

I'd like to point out a great site for beginners getting into Java.

http://blogs.sun.com/thejavatutorials/

They contain great step by step instructions to create desktop applications using the Netbeans IDE. You might want to read the posts from the bottom, to stay in context. the page looks like it is currently active, so new tutorials are being added, so time to add that link to your bookmark (or RSS reader).

Another tutorial at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/learn/index.html
