Kenneth,

  I started learning Japanese when I was 30. (I feel so old saying it
like that) ... anyways, I started with a "teach yourself Japanese" book
and a computer program to help.  after that I took courses after work at
my local community college.  *THEN* I moved to Japan and really started
to learn :p

Anyways, I've learned a number of programming languages since I was
young.  I applied the same techniques to learning Japanese (specifically
with reading/writing (or typing as the case may be)) and made sure I had
good reference materials handy.

also, I got involved with the Japanese communities on iVisit which
helped a lot too.
