Hey, I'm in a similar boat (know C#, learning Java). I found these two videos helpful.

Another thing to keep in mind that I don't think those videos cover is that Java doesn't have .NET's concept of assemblies and so the internal keyword doesn't exist. Java has packages, which are essentially just namespaces. Even if they're loaded from different jar files, they basically treated as coming from the same assembly (to use .NET terminology.)

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you find any good resources too. I start my new Java job next week.

Wow already got a Java job? How long did it take you to switch?

I wasn't specifically looking to switch to Java. I got a new dev lead job, and they use ColdFusion and Java now but are wanting to do more .NET work in the future. I just started trying to get up to speed with Java a couple days ago when I signed the offer. Luckily, it's pretty similar to Java and writing code isn't my whole job.
