DTN #5 - Java Specials

Special Java hints for sockets, threads, GUI, and more!

Well, I was going to do whip up a page on special Java topics like: sockets, network programming, multi-threaded applications, writing GUI's, the Collections API, etc.

I started surfing, and I don't think I can add much to the links below.

I think Sun already does it pretty well.

• java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ - is Java's tutorial
• java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/BasicJava1/ - Java's online training, part 1
• java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/BasicJava2/ - Java's online training, part 2

The online wikibook on Java ( en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Java_Programming ) is chockful of examples as well.

Search either of these for your topic and run with it.

If this doesn't work out for you:

• Google your topic. For threads, you may try: google "java examples threads"
• Search the Java API for classes that may help you at: java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/
• Buy a Java book... I have a list in DTN #4

thanks... yow, bill
