Start with the [official tutorials](http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/). — Joachim Sauer, Apr 13 '11 at 09:15
After that I would try searching for tutorials on what you want to know. There are literally thousands of them on even obscure topics. ;) — Peter Lawrey, Apr 13 '11 at 09:18
And make sure you have a good IDE like Netbeans or Eclipse or IntelliJ CE (all free) — Peter Lawrey, Apr 13 '11 at 09:19

I suggest using NetBeans IDE and follow its tutorials. Its the easiest way to develop a Java Deskotp Application with a GUI.

Head First Java is a nice textbook. It gets you up and running very fast and it's even fun to read *gasp*

After completing the basics and if you happen to use Eclipse IDE, hava a look at Google's WindowBuilder Pro. It is an Eclipse Plugin for quickly developing Swing Interfaces.

In Java, most graphical interfaces are created using a framework called Swing. I suggest you take a look at Oracle's Swing tutorial in order to get you easily started.
