    I dont think its accurate at all to say that javascript is a subset of java.
    Why would you say this? They are isolated completely from each other, both perfectly viable in isolation.

    The reason for the name "java" in javascript (really ecmaScript) is a historical bundling deal that Sun did with Netscape.

    As I read before, Java is to JavaScript as Car is to Carpet.

    Used it in JSP before, can't remember it exactly

    You used it in HTML that you generated via JSP...

    These days you should be using jQuery, depending on how far you want to get it into it. It may be worth learning javascript properly.

    Another vote for head first java. Great book.

    Also worth learning about databases such as oracle or MySQL.
