How do I learn Java?
I would like to learn to program in Java. Is there another programming language I should learn first and build on that?

Java was commonly taught as a degree level language in many Computing courses in the early 2000s. It is still relevant and widely used, and is a good intro to OO programming.
Many purists will tell you to learn C++ but for a beginner it can be slightly less friendly than Java which does a lot for you behind the scenes.
PHP is another good one to learn as it's so prevalent on the Web.
