Out of curiosity, why video? Isn't that just about the hardest way to learn how to program? – Jordan Jun 4 '11 at 4:29
@Jordan, I prefer videos, I think its personal preference. Books are fine, I sometimes prefer videos as I can see what the teacher is doing. Of course books are more easily scanned, is that why you prefer them? – Jiew Meng Jun 4 '11 at 5:42

For me, video doesn't translate to understanding why code does something. I have to be able to see it and control it, and maybe experiment a little bit with it. On video I lose a lot of my ability to understand the process, but then again, that's because most code training video is created by people that don't actually understand programming...it's just monkeys churning out videos to make money off suckers. – Jordan Jun 4 '11 at 17:42

There are video tutorials for both C++ and Java on thenewboston.com. I've been very happy with the simplicity and quality of these video tutorials, and would heartily recommend them.

As for the java part. I'm currently subscribed to JavaPassion.com and I find that a fantastic resource to get your Java skills up. It has weekly live (video) seminars, he doesn't so much program in the videos but he explains a certain topic. After every topic you can make exercises and make and homework if you want to. You also have several topics to choose from, you can start from the very beginning(Beginning Java Programming) or directly go to Java Web Programming or Java Advanced Programming.
