Programming in Java

In the good 10 years since Version 1.0 Java has developed into a platform which is not only interesting for serverside enterprise applications, but also gains room on the desktop. The availability of a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on many important hardware platforms and operating systems makes the originial idea of  Write Once Run Everywhere into a fact, which can help to save on development effort and cost in a computing world which tends to use more operatings systems than windows in the last years.

Programming in Java offers newcomers and also advanced progammers a survey of the Java programming language and the Java platform. Besides basic information there will be overviews and descriptions of some important or convenient Java frameworks like Spring and Tapestry and class libraries. A hopefully growing library of turotials and codesamples should help to work successfully with this mighty platform.
