I am pretty decent with ASP.NET (primarily C#) development, but I want to broaden my horizons and pick up some Java/J2EE/JSP to expand my resume. Aside from little differences I know the basics of Java as I know C#... however, the main way I learned programming with .NET was via the video tutorials at LearnVisualStudio.net, which I have a lifetime membership with, and via MSDN webcasts.

Does anyone know of any similar resources for Java? I don't want to have to spend hundreds on supposed video training. I also learn better from watching video demos than reading text and copying/pasting. I have yet to see any Java webcasts and videos like Microsoft has for .NET.. do these even exist?

Many thanks!

Java was my chosen primary programming language in school but low and behold, my employer does not use it at all for development work. Having missed the language and it's elegance, I found the following site to refresh the basic concepts and syntax.

http://www.joegrip.com

Very good in how it presents the information with great examples to download.

It is a great website and provides a good source of knowledge. But why pay for something when you can surely learn it for free?

Man you certainly are right about that. I can't find a darn thing out there except one out there from this kid who has a few free basic tutorials up for viewing, but the rest you must pay for. Man can a developer get a break with some easy online video. They make videos of everything else. That's my gripe. Like you I don't always like to read through long tutorials. I think you'll be able to find something on the sun website. They have some network where they do videos on the latest java news. I'll check up on it.
I just had to reply because that's the problem I found a while ago. We developers deserve a break from reading, as after reading so many lines of code we can really use some video tutorials where we can relax some.

http://www.techonvideo.com - A very good site for various technical tutorials on video. It has extensive list of technical subjects including various programming languages, databases, softwares, hardwares etc.

Used quite a few personally and liked them a lot.
