I need some advice in learning Java and getting Java certification. My target is to get Certified. I am acquainted with C, C++, feel quite okay with the topics.

As I already mentioned that I need some suggestions about, how to start Java and where to start. Please help me in this regard.

I already downloaded,

1. SCJP Sun Certified Programmer for Java 6.pdf
2. Osborne - The Complete Reference Java 2 (5th Edition).pdf
3. And some free Java tutorials, from sun website and other places

So, please suggest me what more I could do, and where else I need to look. Is there any better resource for Java Beginners? I really need to learn it fast. And yes, I am dedicated with all my efforts.

It would be nice if someone can pass me links to some online Java compilers.

Head First Java is a good book for beginners.

See the Oracle Java Tutorials section on Getting Started.

Also check out the question that has been previously asked

Best Java book you have read so far

Java Ranch is a good website for Java forums and FAQs

The book Java Language specification is also available online.

My suggestion is that you should get a hard copy of Head First Java. It is the best book for beginners.

Java Compilers

1. Download JDK
2. IF you want to use an IDE then Download Eclipse
3. Want to use an online compiler? Use IDEONE

Apart from reading books and doing multiple choice question tutorials the best way to learn something is to actually use it. I suggest you start doing some actual programming in Java. Think of a couple of smallish apps and just start trying to use what you have learned studying.

Look for some books, they are really helpfull (and java doc of course!): Google Books

I have read (spanish): Estructura de Datos en Java from Mark Allen Weiss, it is a GOOD beginning...

If you think you are OK with C and C++ then you are OK with Java, its easier to learn I think, good luck with that...

and of course search for JAVA API 1.6 on GOOGLE (i cant post more links sorry)

Can u able to suggest me some sites to learn a bit easily...a tutorials. But i need to learn with in short time.Iam keeping my full efforts for this to achieve.

Aside the Java Standard Tutorials, referred by @org.life.java, if you need to learn Java EE (Servlets, JSP, EJBs, SOAP, etc, etc, etc), con can check the Java Blue Prints, with lot of code examples.

Provide me some links ---> online free compilers for java

You can download the last JDK from Oracle page for free. With the JDK you'll be able to compile.

Anyway, you better download a IDE to start programming. The easiest to learn is NetBeans. Other option, with more functionality and more customizable is Eclipse IDE.
