New Java Developers

Hello people of the world
I'm interest in learning Java as in my college they never taught me how to work with it.(I only learned a lot about Visual Basic)
How much do you think it will take for me to learn the language I already know a bit of terminology but haven't really worked in any projects at all.
And what tools(blogs, books, skills,,websites,etc..) do you recommend to get really good at it.

Start with The Java Tutorials. There are trails with working example code that cover all of the basic Java functionality.
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/
And that example code is set up to work with NetBeans.

after you finished your way though the tutorials there are 2 Books I'd like to recommend:

Hi,
Instead of 2008 book, kindly refer some latest book i.e of 2016 which has JavaFX, swings & NetBeans explained in simple coding eg. Old books' code doesnt work.

wrong, 'old books' still work. They may not contain all the latest bells and whistles that have been bolted on to the language over the years, but the core functionality is still there and that's what you should concentrate on anyway when starting out.
(most) 20 year old Java code still works, if you can find whatever ancient versions of 3rd party libraries were used to write it at the time.
