We have similar interests! my bachelor's degree was in graphic design and I'm currently doing master's in computer science. I found this book to be really helpful for learning Java. Wishing you best of luck.
It really depends on your background. I am taking 1409 but I have done some programming before. One thing I may suggest is to have a look at the textbooks used for both courses and going thru their table of contents and perhaps taking a look at a few pages and see how familiar you are with the concepts and such. These are the textbooks:
1002: New Perspectives on Computer Concepts 2014
1409: Objects First with Java
Just a note that the 1409 textbook is also used for the next course 1451.
No problem. I wish i could recommend you a good book. The first one I had in case you are wondering was: http://www.amazon.ca/Objects-First-Java-David-Barnes/dp/0131873091/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1345073963&sr=8-2, there's a new edition as well: http://www.amazon.ca/Objects-First-Java-Practical-Introduction/dp/0132492660/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345073963&sr=8-1. Fairly expensive though.
One other thing I'd like to mention as well, is that while Java is the best language of choice for android development, if you'd like doing something on the desktop, Python and the pygame library is a good way to go. Easier language to generally learn as well.
