C#/Java - beginners guide, anyone know of a good website?

[SideWinder]

I'm looking for a basic/brand new to C# and Java website that can teach me the basics and a general overall of the languages. I have looked on Wikipedia but i am looking for something even more simplier.

Any ideas?

Or if someone just wants to explain a bit about the languages, how they works and why it's so important?

Great, thanks.

Any more links that are more specific to what C# or Java actually does? Why is it needed and so on?
