Teach Yourself Java in 21 Days

Based on the enormous amount of press Java is getting and the amount of excitement it has generated, you may get the impression that Java will save the world-or at least solve all the problems of the Internet. Not so. Java's hype has run far ahead of its capabilities, and while Java is indeed new and interesting, it really is another programming language with which you write programs that run on the Internet.

JavaTM Performance Tuning and Java Optimization Tips

This paper illustrates practical ways you can improve JavaTM performance, and presents 30 Java performance tuning and Java efficiency techniques. These techniques focus on Java language and library features.

Many of the techniques are illustrated by code examples.

The Design Patterns Java Companion

The term “design patterns” sounds a bit formal to the uninitiated and can be somewhat off-putting when you first encounter it. But, in fact, design patterns are just convenient ways of reusing object-oriented code between projects and between programmers. The idea behind design patterns is simple-- write down and catalog common interactions between objects that programmers have frequently found useful.
