Welcome to Darien Large's Java Resource Page

This page gathers together some of the Java resources and online references I've come across, in one convenient place!

(If you have any suggestions or resources you think should be listed on this page, please let me know.)

Java at Sun:

Before you do anything else, go to the Java pages at Sun Microsystems. Their front page is updated almost daily with Java news and developments.

• Java at Sun Microsystems.
  
• Download the Java 2 Platform.
  
• Browse the Java Documentation online.
  
• Jump straight to the Java 1.2 API Specification.
  
• Follow the Java tutorial at Sun, or download it to your system.
  
• Join Sun's Java Developer Connection (it's free!).

Java Help, Documentation and other Resources:

Richard Baldwin also teaches Java at Austin Community College. He's written his own textbooks and published them online.

• Go to Baldwin's CIS 2503 Pages at ACC.
  
• Browse his Java Tutorials online.

Here are some other pages of helpful Java info and links:

• Java Programming Resources
  
• Cafe au Lait Java FAQs, News, and Resources at Metalab .
  
• The Cafe au Lait comp.lang.java FAQ List
  
• Mathtools.net, a technical computing portal that lists sites covering Java, Excel, MATLAB, Fortran, and others.

Java Utilities and IDEs

Here are a few editors and IDEs I've found sloshing around on the internet:

• Source Editor and Source Studio (Two freeware Java developer applications.)

• Kawa, Simple Yet Powerful IDE (Shareware; color syntax highlighting, compile, run, debug options.)

• CodeMagic Universal IDE beta 1B (This is mostly geared toward Perl; claims to be useful for Java as well. Quite beta.)

• JDEX, Java Development Environment using Windows Explorer (Not an IDE; helps integrate command-line java tools javac etc. with associations at the Windows Explorer.)

• emacs JDE for Windows (but why?)

Newsgroups about Java

There seem to be hundreds of these. If anyone can recommend a few for a budding but timid Java programmer, please let me know!

And Last but Least,

Java at Microsoft

• Microsoft Technologies for Java Homepage...
