We are in the process of hiring a Java teacher! In the mean time, you can get a quick feel for the basics with these blog posts:

and then perhaps check out Head First Java.

A great detailed book on java is "Java How to Program" by Paul Deitel and Harvey Deitel.

How is the book Head First Java? http://www.amazon.com/Head-First-Java-2nd-Edition/dp/0596009208

Any idea?

Missed this comment when I posted mine. I have brief but good experience with the Head First series of books, and the Java one is supposed to be good. Haven't used it myself, though.
