I have been programming with Java for 5+ years now and have used it for many projects. I also have plenty of tutorials written up that I provide to a class I teach on the weekends. I also understand that you want to learn the basics and I believe with my experience and tutorials I can teach you the basic skills required to start programming in Java in a short time. I can teach you over 2 days and also provide you with heaps of easy to follow tutorials that will help you in the future too.
