Hi guys, I'm a newbie programmer of java and I just want to know on where do I start and what is the first thing I should learn in java programming.

What are you looking for. There are a number of free online Tutorial like www.w3schools.com.
Are you sure you mean Java and not JavaScript? JavaScript is much more often used in web-development because it is interpreted by a browser (and you probably want that if you are on this forum). If you are asking about Java, you probably are not aiming at web development, unless you are making applets, in which case, i too would like to know where to find a decent beginner's tutorial. W3Schools offers a good JavaScript tutorial, but not Java. You can also get experience in JavaScript by simply Google-ing what you plan on creating and understanding the code, that's how I learned it. (I had a basic understanding of programming languages in general, and am still not perfect with Java, but I'm much better off than previously)
I'm assuming you had previous programming languages since you did say you are a newbie programmer in Java. If not then I would take a course at your local community college. If you have previous course in C++ or any previous object oriented programming courses, then you'll feel right at home with Java.
But if you had no previous experience in any programming languages, then its best you take a course.

Well firstly, don't be afraid to google. You will be able to find rich tutorials and websites focused on teaching java all the way from humble newbie beginnings to pro. I found this: http://www.freejavaguide.com/corejava.htm with a quick search of "beginner java tutorials". Also if you can get your hands on a book called "Java, How to Program" that will teach you a lot! It's not to difficult to work through by your self. It has decent explanations and comprehensive examples.
As stated previously, if you are aiming at web development though, Java is probably not what you are looking for. PHP is very popular and the basics of it is easy to learn, especially if you have a background in a programming course.
Good luck

Here's the official Java Tutorial:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/
This helped greatly to learn Java. Also you can google doubts in specific commands/codes.
Though this tutorial helps you to know the syntax and common functions in Java, you need to work by yourself to get the programming concept. (As is for any programming language).
I'll explain it to you with a basic example:
If you need to write a program to implement a simple command prompt based calculator, YOU should decide, what inputs to get (2 nums and 1 command) and what outputs to display. You should also decide what type of architecture should be used. Whether all the operations in one module (or simply put in one function) or each in its own module.
Such decisions can be made only if you are well versed at various programming concepts. I suggest you learn Object Oriented Concepts and then implement them to solve some real world problems. This way, when you learn the coding part from the above tutorial, you could easily implement most of the problems' solution as a Java Program.
Hope this helped.
