I'm not sure how far along you are with JAVA but this website might help you: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/java_overview.htm

The New Boston is alright as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl-zzrqQoSE&list=PL0DA31D88FC21E462

Thats Javascript on code academy which is a very different thing.

I know there is an extreme difference between javascript and java.

Afaik they used to, it was in my notes in college all through 1st Year. They must have removed it. They used to have a C++ aswell

The even advertise it if you type "codeacademy java" into google.

Stick with the other suggestions though, sorry for posting incorrectly

newboston gets a lot of criticism but I think he is great for beginners. But do not use it as a whole source, you need to know why you are doing things and what it all means and so on.

Cave of programming has some good videos as well. The guy is worked as a programmer and teacher, so his videos are more professional than newboston.
