Learn about Java technology (http://java.com/en/about/)

Its never "quick" to learn about anything...it takes time. If you want to learn about Java, you need to take your time ;)

If you don't know any previous experience, forget java and go for a simpler scripting language like ruby, python and lua.

Java is actually quite easy.  It's a lot like many other languages.  I suggest reading ANYTHING that has the word O'reilly in it.

Well anyway, what I'm trying to say is- programming should be easy and fun. Some people may prefer java, but it's too verbose for my liking. But that may just be me, so look at the languages, consider what you really want to accomplish and then decide what to go with.

Look at tutorials on the internet, they help a lot. Getting a book would be a big help too. Getting really good at it will take a long time (http://norvig.com/21-days.html), so be sure to keep at it.

All that is rubbish,
If you want a really fast, efficient and fun way to learn java, go to youtube and find "thenewboston"
He has tutorials on all of the most commonly used programming languages from Java and PHP to Javascript and XHTML.
Hope i helped anyone looking at this.
