| For most of my career I've been a C programmer. I will
conveniently skip over many years of history to tell you something
about my more recent programming exploits, in this instance using the
Java programming language.
In the spirit of this site, you won't find an
introduction or a tutorial about Java - I have built up a page of Java references which take you to
places where such things are covered in much more detail.
What I will do is provide additional observations on
some of the Java tutorials I found at those sites. This is as much an
aid to my memory as anything - but I hope you find it useful.
You may have seen on my Linux
pages reference to installing the JBuilder Java development
environment. This is not covered in detail as it was the subject of
article in PC Plus (April 2000).
The installation, for the record, went according to plan, and the
JBuilder tutorials were useful.
My aim, however, was not to use JBuilder as an
application development tool but just to help get over the initial
learning stages. I really wanted to investigate the Java system
components, initially those in the JDK (Java Development Kit)
downloaded from Sun Microsystems Java 2 Standard
Edition internet site. (This is somewhat newer than the version
mentioned in the article above, but probably out of date by the time
you read this!).
