I don't know about other people, but going through a lot of books was
the way for me.  I started with Laura Lemay's "Teach Yourself Java In 21
Days".  That got me just the basics of the language.  After that, I went
after 2 books on JDBC, followed by 3 books on networking.  I also have a
couple in JavaBeans, but I haven't read them yet.  No one book or course
will tell you everything you need to know to write even a small but
useful application.  I recommend starting with Laura.  She's good, but
you still may have to read her several times before you get some
topics.  Other topics will come easy to a C++ programmer.

Happy reading and welcome to the caffinated community!
