If html, JavaScript, Java, etc, are leaving you wondering if there shouldn't be something better, then you will want to take a *very* close look at the next generation web language, called "Curl" (Curl was originally a DARPA project and one of the investors is Tim Berners-Lee). Take a look at what is being called the "X-Internet" (for executable internet) and learn one of the most powerful and easiest languages that exists, even if you are just a web designer and not a pr

This is a tutorial for those just getting started with the Java programming language. Learn how to print text to the screen.

In this article, Chris will continue his popular "Java How-To" series and teach us all how to create a simple Java application that will read a file and output its contents to the screen.

In part two of this ten part series, I discussed some basic Java language syntax. In this article, I will discuss some of the Java primitive types and describe the basics of a Java class. I will also touch on the JDK (Java Development Kit) and describe how to compile a small class.

In part three of this ten part tutorial, Chris discussed some of the primitive data types available in Java. He also went through a basic Java class. In this article, he will explore that class further and discuss some aspects of objects, as well as information hiding.

Java is arguably the hottest programming language today. It can be used cross platform to build complete applications, applets and even web pages. In this 10 part series of articles, Chris will explain what Java is, and also provide working examples, clearly describing the Java language syntax.

In this, part two of this ten part series on Java, Chris looks at the Java language syntax, variable declerations, truth conditions, loops and more. He finishes by wrapping everything up into a simple Java function.

The Servlets trail teaches you about servlets, the bodies of code that run inside servers, and extend their functionality. For example, servlets offer an efficient platform-independent replacement for CGI scripts. Servers that can host servlets are Java-enabled servers that respond to client requests.

This source code demonstrates how to dosomething based on a button click event. Full source code for the Applet is included.

This tutorial shows how to send an e-mail using JavaMail. This example can be easily changed to work with a JSP, Javabean and Servlet.

Learn Java by e-mail. You send in exercises for marking, so it's like having tour own personnel tutor!

Since it came into existence, Java code has had a reputation for executing slowly, and that reputation was partially deserved. This is particularly true of the early Java Virtual Machine implementations, which offered purely interpreted execution. However, while Java is still not (and may never be) the ideal language for performing extremely CPU-intensive operations, it is entirely suitable for most software applications.

When you compile a Java source code file, the compiler generates a class file containing <B>Java byte codes</B> that can be processed by a Java Virtual Machine.

Once you've identified a performance problem, there are usually ways that you can address the problem. The most obvious solution is to upgrade the hardware that the application runs on, but this is often not possible, especially when large numbers of client machines are involved.

Tag libraries are the one aspect of JSP which has caused me to to choose JSP as my primary server-side web application tool. This tutorial will show you why tag libraries are so important and will help you to build your first tag library.
