As I've stated before, I will be venturing into software app design as a complete newbie. My idea focuses on commercial software design, open software people may use to make a certain task(s) much easier for them. As I currently possess extremely little and limited knowledge of software, what are some decent sources I can read/watch/listen to that will teach software programming (preferably Java) and the coding process? Thanks for any info.
