I've never read it (I do web programming mostly) but I've heard this book recommended:
Head First Java

Amazon reviews seem to indicate that is not for beginners.

You can actually set this in the youtube UI when you choose to embed a video, but for the straight code:
in the embed code it's a parameter right after the ? that comes after the URL. rel=0. so here's an example
src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yadayada?rel=0"

Hi All!
 i found the "Head First" series of books to be the best in teaching all types of programming languages, and yes they have for java too.

This website offers free downloads to all tech related books, on their home page they have for java and android development, check it out.

Free online "bootcamps", pretty self-explanatory:

For Rails: http://www.theodinproject.com
