Welcome to the JDJ Forum

Dec. 1, 1997 12:00 AM

The Web is full of resources for Java. There are applets, code samples and FAQs everywhere and several free tutorials. But when it comes to getting a simple question answered, there are not many options:

Usenet: You can always post your questions on the Usenet news group, which now boasts 13 subgroups under the comp.lang.java main group. However, the free-for-all' kind of Usenet culture can overwhelm some people, especially if you are a newbie.

Mailing Lists: There are also some mailing lists to which you can subscribe and get the messages in the discussion sent to you in the form of e-mail. This is great, I guess, if you have the ability to correlate the questions and answers into some kind of a thread!

Java Developer Connection (JDC): Sun Microsystems Inc. provides a variety of resources for developers at JDC, which includes a Developer Forum. But this is a scheduled chat type of forum, rather than a threaded discussion forum.

Mentor: You can pick up the phone and call your good friend!

Now, SYS-CON Interactive offers the JDJ Forum, where all you need is a standard browser to get access to many dream features in a discussion forum:

Read the entire thread in one page (not one message at a time)

Search the topics and message bodies

Spell check your messages before posting.

...and many more

The URL of the JDJ Forum is: .http://www.sys-con.com/java/board.htm

Access is free; however, we do ask you to register initially. You are also welcome to come in as a guest, without registration, to view the forum. And we have plans for a Team JDJ to ensure that you get a speedy response to all of your questions on Java.
