Suggestions for websites or programs to use to learn Java?

Hello, I searched the forums and found a few similar threads to this, but none of the threads I found discussed using a website or program to teach java while having the same conditions as my team.
My team wants to teach Java to team members as part of our extra curricular robotics team, not as a class. Here are the somewhat strange bits to consider.
1. Most of the people who will learn Java know some basic programming already.
2. There is a Java class that some members will take, these ones will probably want more advanced materials to learn from.
3. Most members want to also learn good practices for programming robots.

Are you wanting to teach students how to be good (java) programmers or how to program robots? In many cases the latter does not imply the former sadly.

If they already have some experience programming, I would recommend teaching them data structures and algorithms.

The second would be more important, as we need our robots to be programmed :P. In terms of experience, most kids have some basic C++ experience, but couldn't program a robot or make an advanced program. They understand variables and the like, but not much more than that.

How well do they understand oop?

Hey! Thanks for the reply. They know very little about oop.
Note: We're considering using Derek Banas' video tutorials until we have a software mentor.

Hi!

Assuming that you are familiar with Java, you could rewrite the code from the previous year's robot/other out of use robots. I've found that the best way to teach someone how to something is to do it. My team has some Java resources that we've made that I'd be happy to share with you.

Sure, please send these over!
