Can anyone point me to a a nice simple beginner Java tutorial, that starts with getting a rectangle on screen then moving it based on keyboard input. I found one decent tutorial that involved using an image as a sprite, but as soon I changed it to a fillRect, the input stopped working.

There don't seem to be a lot of good books or tutorials in this area, and the Java SE 6 book in Barnes and Noble sucked! Thanks.

When you are for something really specific it gets hard to find.
You should google Java input tutorial or java draw tutorial
Remember you want to learn basics to build on.

Learn how to use each then use them together.

Also you double posted

Also, now that I have a programming professor that doesn't know how to program (literally)
I found that Youtube is of great help

You didn't mention whether you have any Java coding experience or not, but regardless of your level, you should find the official tutorials useful:
