First of all, the Google Maps API is a Javascript API, not Java.

Your best bet is to start looking at the simple examples in Mike
Williams' tutorials; http://econym.org.uk/gmap/

View the source code of his examples to see how the language and the
API work. Consult a Javascript primer - book/web - or get advise from
a Javascript programmer if you do not understand the Javascript.

Read the official documentation: 
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/index.html
and look at the Code Samples in the left sidebar.

Decide on a design for a _simple_ page get a Map API key and try
building it, borrowing bits of code from the above examples as
necessary. Start simple. If you run into problems post a query onto
this discussion group. Make sure you post a link to your test page,
NOT code (read the Suggested Posting Guidelines:
http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/web/suggested-posting-guidelines
) You will get help from the experts in the discussion group if you
follow the guidelines - but please remember, you will get advise, but
we will not write the web application for you ;-)

Happy hacking!
