What are some good sites for learning Java, as it's used inside of large organizations? I already know how to code, but have run screaming from Java whenever I started looking at it. But where I work, it's ubiquitous.

I'd rather not learn on my phone. I have this giant desktop sitting in front of me...

Java appears to be the lingua franca of the enterprise world, for better or worse, and that means there's going to be a lot of mediocre code out there. Unfortunately, the only way around a lot of it is going to be to hold your nose.

You'd do well to learn the extras provided by Java Enterprise Edition - basically it bolts web services stuff onto the standard Java stack.
