Intermediate Java programming

Roy W. Miller (roy@roywmiller.com), Programmer, Independent
Roy Miller is an independent software development coach, programmer, and author. He began his career at Andersen Consulting (now Accenture), and most recently spent three years using Java professionally at RoleModel Software, Inc. in Holly Springs, NC. He has developed software, managed teams, and coached other programmers at clients ranging from two-person start-ups to Fortune 50 companies.

Summary:  The Java™ language provides most of what professional programmers expect to see in a language, and even in an object-oriented language. Beyond the basics, though, the Java language provides some useful tools for creating sophisticated programs. This tutorial will introduce you to some of these more advanced Java language features commonly seen on typical Java technology development projects.

Resources

Learn

  • Take Roy Miller's "Introduction to Java programming" for the basics of Java prgramming. (developerworks, November 2004)

  • The java.sun.com Web site has links to all things Java programming. You can find every "official" Java language resource you need there, including the language specification and API documentation. You can also can find links to excellent tutorials on various aspects of the Java language, beyond the fundamental tutorial.

  • Go to Sun's Java documentation page, for a link to API documentation for each of the SDK versions.

  • Check out John Zukowski's excellent article on regex with the Java language here. This is just one article in his Magic with Merlin column.

  • The Sun Java tutorial is an excellent resource. It's a gentle introduction to the language, but also covers many of the topics addressed in this tutorial. If nothing else, it's a good resource for examples and for links to other tutorials that go into more detail about various aspects of the language.

  • The java.sun.com Web site has some excellent summaries of the date pattern rules here and more on the CopyBytes.java example here.

  • The developerWorks New to Java technology page is a clearinghouse for developerWorks resources for beginning Java developers, including links to tutorials and certification resources.

  • You'll find articles about every aspect of Java programming in the developerWorks Java technology zone.

  • Also see the Java technology zone tutorials page for a complete listing of free Java-focused tutorials from developerWorks.
