Hello Robert, Two sites I recommend to be helpful are javaworld (www.javaworld.com) and suns developer website (http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/new2java/). They have some good learning tutorials. From what I remembered the tutorials will even walk you through JDBC and creating GUI Windows App through Swing. The message board is also not too bad people will help you out when your stuck.
On another note, once you start coding make sure their API is bookmarked in your browser. It will be your best link. They document their framework classes very well.
