I am a very new developer. I don't know java at all :( and i was wondering if anyone knows a site where I could find java applets and code that I could download and copy/paste into my site. I have been to one before, but I just can't remember the site for the life of me... it was something like javaspot.com, but that url didn't work. Also, if anyone knows of a free online guide for learning java, that would be great. I have tried two so far, and they were both completely useless.

Sounds like you want to start on the client side first and I recommend checking out Java Web Start which provides good control for applets. It would also be good to learn the server side part of Java using Servlets.

Alot of great tutorials on Sun site. JavaRanch (http://faq.javaranch.com/java/CodeBarn) has alot of good learning tools.
Good books are Murach's Java Servlets and JSP and the Head First series.

Thanks much. Is there a site that has applets that I can download? I have to get a site done for a photographer and I know there is a way to prevent right-clicking using java, but I don't have the code that I used last time I used this trick. I got it from a site that has hundreds of pre-made java code and applets. Unfortunately, the bookmark was on a company machine and I can't get to that computer any more... Does anyone know of a website like that? I really need the site so I can get this site done in time.

You're looking for JavaScript not Java for preventing right-click. Which isn't suggested by the way. Better is to watermark all the images. A quick google search for javascript "right click disable" should do the trick. But remember, it's not fool proof, anyone with no how can get around them easily.
