For absolute newbies, Piuralsight Java courses are too complex, no matter how "fundamentals", "basics" are in its titles.

After taking two Java classes, I felt confident and wanted to review before I move on and create something with my knowledge. I ended up learning more and filling holes in my understanding with Jim Wilson's Java Fundamentals.
