Java Resources

I am in the process of learning Java so that I can write my thesis program using it. If Java interests you, try the following on-line resources.

• java.sun.com has a good beginners' tutorial along with information regarding Swing and A Visual Index to the Swing Components.
• If you write applets using Swing, people who view your web site will need to use the Java Plug-in. You'll need special code in your web page in order for your applet to use the plug-in. The easiest way to add the code is to use the Java Plug-in HTML Converter.
• For documentation regarding specific functions go to the API Specifications.
• Learn more about Java Web Start, a deployment solution for Java-based applications.
• Jazz3d provides spiffy java classes for 3d graphics.
• This page has links to some Java books that are available on-line in their entirety.
• java.net is a online java-focused community.
• Gamelan provides links to many Java articles, tutorials, news, discussions and more.
• Java Programming Resources
• If you are using Java in the Viz Lab then take a look at Scott Arvin's page How to use JAVA in the Visualization Laboratory.
