This Is a Work in Progress!
This tutorial is a work in progress.
At any time, it might be incomplete or buggy, and may contain bad links.

To help us with #2, please let us know what's
confusing in these lessons,
what seems unnecessary,
and whether the lessons helped you at all.

What's
?
And What's Old? The History of the Tutorial
22 December 97 --
The long awaited update!--
this is a major update of the tutorial.
Almost every file has been touched in some way.
This release of the online tutorial corresponds with the
release of the 2nd edition of The Java Tutorial book
and is the version of the online tutorial that appears on
the CD-ROM that accompanies that book.
The changes are in progress, but to a large extent
we have integrated 1.1 information into
the existing trails, lessons, and examples. This is
in sharp contrast to the 1.1 notes that were littered
throughout the previous version of the tutorial and
were, admittedly, somewhat confusing.
Also, we are in the process of integrating copyedit and
other changes made to the book version, into the online version.
This has been completed thoroughly in some areas of the online
tutorial, and spottily in other areas. We will continue
with this process throughout the coming months.
New lessons in this tutorial that first appeared in print
in the 2nd edition of The Java Tutorial book:
New trails for this version of the tutorial
that haven't yet made it to print:
8 July 97 --
- One of the goals of the tutorial is to document the latest and greatest
from JavaSoft as it is released.
To this end, we've added a lesson about
Using the JFC "Swing" Release.
The Swing release is an early release of part of the JFC.
This information is only available from the Java Tutorial.
- Added a trail, Java Security 1.1,
covering the new 1.1 security APIs.
- Updated the The JavaBeans(tm) Tutorial by Greg Voss.
- Promoted Writing Global Programs to
a trail. This trail is still in progress, but it contains new material
including several excellent demos from
Taligent.
- Added information about the 1.1 release in our
To 1.1 -- And Beyond! trail.
- Made the usual fixes to broken links, typos, and other errata.
14 May 97 --
We improved and added more 1.1 information in existing sections.
We added more examples of and information about
the various types of event listeners to
The New AWT Event Model.
We also fixed the AroundTheWorld applet used in
Writing Global Programs.
28 April 97 --
We added a new trail,
To 1.1 -- And Beyond!,
which is the headquarters for features added to the JDK after 1.0.
Also, the Learning the Java Language
and Essential Java Classes trails
now have notes that point out material that is affected by 1.1.
And finally, we reorganized our top-level files to make them more
accessible.
3 March 97 --
Added a brand new trail introducing JavaBeans!
This trail, JavaBeans Tutorial, written by Greg Voss,
shows you the ins and outs of developing programs
using the JavaBeans technology.
19 February 97 --
24 December 96 -- Miscellaneous fixes.
Also, added a new lesson describing new features of the JDK for
Writing Global Programs.
6 June 96 -- Released the Sixth DRAFT.
This draft is the version on which the book version is based.
The book and online versions aren't exactly the same --
for example, none of the copyeditor's changes
have made it into the online tutorial yet.
Also, the online tutorial's figures haven't been updated
to be the same as those in the book.
Notable content changes since the fifth draft include:
- Finished the Common Problems pages.
- Added information on the Macintosh JDK.
- Added an applet anatomy section to Getting Started.
- Improved the talk server example in the applet communication lesson.
28 Mar 96 -- Released the Fifth DRAFT.
Many pages in this draft have been rewritten
or expanded upon.
(If you've sent us comments and don't see them reflected in this draft,
please don't be insulted --
we haven't finished incorporating reviewer comments.)
Some of the notable changes include:
4 Mar 96 -- Released the Fourth DRAFT
Among the normal bug, typo and broken link fixes, this draft includes
revisions to many of our old trails and lessons, plus this new material:
24 Feb 96 -- Released the Third DRAFT
Among the normal bug, typo and broken link fixes, this draft includes
revisions to many of our old trails and lessons, plus this new material:
23 Jan 96 -- Updated the Second DRAFT
- Updated links to point to new FCS1.0 JDK release.
- Fixed bugs where some applets and sources files were missing.
- Miscellaneous fixes of typos, bugs, and broken links.
18 Jan 96 -- Updated the Second DRAFT
- Changed the Creating a User
Interface
trail to reflect the event changes introduced in Beta2.
Specifically, keyboard event handlers now have to return false,
unless they want the event to be dropped.
The Conversion example program and the overview were affected.
- Revised the structure of the tutorial
to reflect what we're going to be able to finish
by the time the book version is due to the printer.
- Added a very preliminary lesson on Java's object features--
Java Objects.
- Fixed various typos, bugs and broken links.
12 Dec 95 -- Updated the Second DRAFT
13 Nov 95 -- Updated the Second DRAFT
-
Made the few changes necessary to reflect Beta instead of Pre-Beta.
-
Changed the name of this document from
"The Java Programmer's Guide" to
"The Java Language Tutorial: Object-Oriented Programming for the Internet."
Why the long name?
This document is going to be published as a book,
and we wanted to make sure the title
was as descriptive as possible,
without requiring much prior knowledge of the potential buyer.
-
Added ALT text to our link graphics,
so that people using non-graphical browsers
can understand the information the graphic was conveying.
-
Added a new lesson,
Using Layout Managers, in the
Creating a User Interface
trail.
2 Oct 95 -- Released the Second DRAFT
-
Everything was updated to reflect the new APIs (except for The "run:"
Protocol Handler and The "text/plain" Content Handler
in the Getting Started
trail).
-
We fixed many typos, clarified many obfuscations, fixed
broken links and miscommunications.
-
We got a face-lift with new icons and a new page design.
-
And, we added these trails and lessons:
18 May 95 -- Released the First DRAFT
