Hi,
Check the result section to get motivated. People succeed everday and come to share their experience.
As for the confidence just get started and you'll get it back as you feel that you're learning and mastering the language as time goes by
Good luck dude

Hi Valentin:
In the list of books at JavaRanch, the Bruce Eckel's Thinking in Java not included. Is there are reason for that. I found it very helpful as first book...

Certainly you will need to pick up a study guide from the The BunkHouse. As you work through the study guide chapter-by-chapter you can try a single topic exam from my mock exam site at the URL contained in my signature. After you complete the study guide, then use a variety of other mock exams available on the web. The Java Ranch List of Mock Exams is a good resource.
