Important classes: Image, Graphics, Graphics2D, MouseListener

I suggest you go through all hyperlinks and read about Graphics.drawImage and more.

I suggest you not do Java and C++ at the same time. Do Java first as it's a lot easier and extremely good for learning object oriented design principles.

I also suggest you do command line applications to fully understand Java before jumping into graphics.

But hell if you've really got the basics as in Classes, Instantiation, Access Modifiers, Lists, Listeners and Buffers/Streams then go for it.

Re: Java queries

You may want to invest time in learning Object Oriented concepts while concentrating on one language over the other. Java is more commonly used as a tool to introduce students to OO. By doing this, the API will make a lot more sense.
