What are good sites for learning CSS, XML, and Java?

I have taught myself html and it has made be want to learn more coding. I found a really good online class (free) that teaches CSS, XML, and java, but they are kind of assuming that you already know a little bit about the topics. I need a site that will teach me from scratch. Know of any?

    Wow, three different topics. HTML and CSS aren’t code. Neither is XML for that matter. (They are all markup). Java is though.

    CSS works on proper semantic HTML/XHTML markup. So make sure you markup your HTML properly. No abusing tables for layouts. No massive div structures in place of tables. Markup headings with <h1>..etc tags, and paragraphs with <p> tags, a list of links in <ul>, etc. Sounds basic, until you see so called CSS sites wrapping everything in divs and improperly marked up code.

    A good reference site, but to really learn CSS, you’ll want to do some extensive reading, googling, and figuring out what others have done.

    Spend some time on cssdrive, stylegala, and other galleries to see how CSS is really used.

    For Java, start with http://java.sun.com/ Then Google and buy some books.
