woh you are really new. First you need a compiler. BlueJ has a nice and simple interface, d/l that from Sun. You'll also have to d/l the java sdk. Nest, find a book on java. Take a look at "Java by Example". You can view it for free here.

Java by Example

you need the java 2 sdk (called j2se sdk by sun) for windows i386 machines
you also need a text editor. i recommend www.ultraedit.com
