Java Resources
CONTENTS
This is a list of online information
sources about the Java programming language, Java-enabled browsers,
and related technologies.
Sun Microsystems, the developers of Java, offers the best online
one-stop, comprehensive source of technical documentation and
information about Java on its Web site at http://java.sun.com/.
Also, see Sun's Java contest Web site, http://javacontest.sun.com/.
Some sites around the world mirror this information, so you can
pick a server from the list below that is close to you, or consult
Sun's list of Java mirror sites. Here are sites that are known
to be updated frequently:
- Dimension X, San Francisco, California, http://www.dnx.com/java/

design, and programming:
