So while Sun’s hardware business seems to be pretty much up in the air, it appears [...]

Hmm, looks as if I am not the only one out there with the Ajax solutions being trumpeted right now. Nice to see that I am not alone…

While there is a lot that I do like about Java, there is no question that there are obstacles that will need to be overcome in order for it to remain useful as a Web application tool. And now that AJAX is out there, Java has more challenges than ever.

Looking for a new API to play around with? Then perhaps this Wireless Messaging API 2.0 is just what the doctor ordered?

As the world of Web design seems to become more and more diversified, some designers are adding Java work to their repertoire. Getting a handle on all of this can mean the difference between success and failure. Knowing this, does it not make sense to look into using Maven in order to help get all [...]

No one ever said that encryption and Java would be a piece of cake. But with the right tools and reference guide, it might be a whole lot easier to wrap your mind around. Check it out:

I must admit. If I was ever going to get into programing I think that my sails would be set toward Flash instead of C or Java. But for those of you thinking that Java is a better fit for you, then you might want to stop by here first to get a little taste [...]

Now this is what I am talking about! Yup, moves like this are almost sure to help to make mobile Java everything that a dev could ever hope for.

You’d be surprised at what JavaScript can do. It can turn any ordinary Web site into something flashy, and add cool effects. At the moment, I am still a beginner with JavaScript and I am loving it. It is completely easy to learn, and of course makes your Web site look cool.
Don’t believe me? See [...]

After reading this article at The Feature, I am beginning to think that it might just be a good time to be in the Java development field in the mobile market. Apparently, there a number of companies that are looking to have branded Java apps, but without having to sell their souls to make them [...]

Speaking as someone that knows less about Coldfusion I’d like to admit, I must say that when I first stumbled upon this article about CF inside of Java -well, let’s just say I was taken back some…

So, can Microsoft really blow off C#? Tamir Khason seems fairly convinced that they can and more importantly- they will. I almost have to agree as you just never really hear much about it anymore.

Lately I have been reading that dynamic languages are a really hot on multiple levels. Today, it looks as if Dynamic Java is no exception to this trend. With all of the good surrounding Dynamic Java, there are still some areas that will eventually have to be resolved.
For one thing, there is still quite a [...]

As many of you already know, Class Loaders are one of the cornerstones of the Java language. At first it might seem a little intimidating. After you get the basics down though, you will find that it is simpler than you might have thought.

OK Java devs, have you ever found yourself thinking that it would be super if there was a search engine for Java code? I mean, it would be really cool when you find out that there is that “one line” of code missing and for the life of you, finding it seems to be an [...]

Ruby and Graphviz take us down the dusty trail of Java exploration as we look at a memory-leak in a Java app. To the non-Java fluent of us out there, this may not seem that important at first. However, of you stick around for bit, you might just learn something.
