Useful and interesting links for new Java programmers Useful and interesting links for new Java programmers Please note, this page was first put together in 1998, and is now given only small amounts of maintenance - see below. In particular, this site was put together reflecting early versions of the Java language. I felt the changes introduced in Java 5 were so significant that they required a major overhaul of my teaching and thinking about the Java language, but I did not have time to re-orient this page around that, so that marks the point when I stopped active work on this page. University Java programming course web pages General resource sites for Java Other relevant sites for Java Java books sales sites Java sites from web-indexers Java question-answering services General resource sites Computing societies University course indexes Managing Java files Unicode sites On-line dictionaries/glossaries Interesting or useful personal web-sites Study skills and general help sites The Real World What this page is for This page of links was originally produced for students on the course Introduction to Programming in the Department of Computer Science (now part of the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science) at Queen Mary, University of London, in the UK. However, it linked into material well beyond the scope of that course so it was made available as a public resource for anyone else who is interested. The aim was to provide material for students learning to program in an object-oriented style using the Java language. The emphasis is more on general programming skills than the intricacies of the Java language. So I have avoided material which introduces Java with an emphasis on its graphical or networking side. There are, however, links for those who want to move ahead to look at these things. I have not given links to many of the vast number of sites aimed at Java Certification since that is more about factual knowledge of the details of Java than general programming skills. I have also used this page to collect more general links on computer programming and related issues which I think would be of interest to new students in Computer Science. I have tried to make all links here to original sites rather than mirror sites, so they are as up to date as possible. Also mirror sites made without permission of the original author are a breach of copyright. So far as I am aware, everything with a direct link from this site has been made available by its author to the public over the web. This site also contains, for reference, links to other sites of a type which this is not: sites which indiscriminately list anything that can be found on Java, sites which are mainly about how to use Java to enhance your web page, and sites which are for those who already have a lot of experience with Java or C/C++ programming. The author of this site (Matthew Huntbach) disclaims responsibility for anything that may be found indirectly from pages to which it links. The future of this site This site was first put together in 1998, and reflects the simple style of early web pages built using raw html. Since then there have been huge changes in web technology and the scope and usage of the Java language. The emphasis of this site is intended to be on the simple basics of object-oriented programming, so its style and the approach it takes to Java is still, I hope, relevant. In any case, I don't have time to make radical changes to it. Java 5 marked a particularly big change in the Java programming language, which had (or should have had!) an impact on even the most introductory teaching of the language. This site does not reflect the impact of those changes, but it marks the point at where I stopped actively working on the site as it would have been too much of a job to update it thoroughly to ensure it was all compataible with Java 5 and later versions of the language. I will occasionally check and remove dead links or those which have obviously become irrelevant, but old links will stay in otherwise. I am not actively seeking new links, though if while working on other things I do come across a site I think useful and relevant to the aims of this site, I will add a link to it here. The links to other university course pages are a particular feature of this site, but by their nature, they are fast changing, so difficult to keep up to date. Please email me if you come across any dead links, have a link you think really should be included here, or have some other comments. I have collected a few more links, mainly to university course web pages, on a couple of other pages which are still intended mainly for courses I'm teaching: Algorithms and Data Structures Links Advanced Program Design Links University Java programming course web pages At one time, many university courses on programming made their complete course notes publicly available through the web. This now seems to be less common, with most course sites requiring a password so that only students at the university can access them, but a few are still public. The emphasis of most of the courses here is to teach programming in general using Java, rather than to teach Java in particular. Most are introductory, some are at an intermediate level. You can find links to course pages for other university courses under university course indexes. Note When I last checked this list some of the links were still live, some even led to updated course materials, but many were dead. In some cases a a dead link means a change of policy so course material is no longer public, in other cases it means the person teaching the course has moved on and taken down the public material. Sometimes, however, it just means changes in web organisation at the university meaning a different address will get the material and it just needs a little research to find the new address. Right now, I don't have time to update these links, so please just take them as they are.

Karthik Kumar, Birla Institute of Science and Technology, Pilani, India General resource sites for Java Here are some sites with links to Java "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQ), tutorials, and plenty of other Java resources. Remember, this sort of site is going to contain a lot of material on advanced aspects of Java. So don't feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of material here. As with the university programming course web pages, these are sites I found useful or interesting when I was actively compiling this list of links. Better but more recent ones will only be added if I happen to come across them, and as I am not actively looking for them any more I may well have missed what are now the best sites.

DevX Java zone Developer's Daily RoseIndia Javamex Javapapers Other relevant Java sites Here are a few more relevant sites containing material on programming in Java. As with the other sections, this reflects the situation when I was actively working on this page of links.

O'Reilly Thomson Course Technology McGraw Hill Java sites from web-indexers Note - this was originally put together when web search was not so dominated by the one site that it is now. The Java sections of general web-index sites are generally not as well organised as dedicated Java sites.

Also the expertise of some of the “experts” isn't that great.

Useful if you want to look things up that go beyond Java programming. Note - I have removed quite a few links that were dead, and updated a few that had relocated. Sites occasionally get added here if I come across them and think them worthwhile, but I haven't engaged in any sort of systematic search to find them.

University course index sites often change their location and public access policy. When this page was first set up these sites often gave access to the full lecture notes for the courses. Some still do, but there has been a growing trend to make access password protected so that only students registered at the university can see the notes.
