I am working on some java programming that deals with input/output, hashtables, and inheritance.
I have visited numerous websites for tips and lessons, but I was wondering if any Dopers had favorite sites they go to for clarity.
Sun’s JDC site is pretty good. They have a variety of forums on different topics including the general programming forum linked below. This is a pretty good site for relatively easy questions, but most of my more difficult problems have gone unanswered. They also have good articles and specs on the JDC site.

The jGuru site has both articles and forums. They often link to articles and tutorials elsewhere. I don’t browse their forums, but I have noticed that when I use google to search for info on specific issues, their forum pages come up much more frequently than others, indicating a good breadth of coverage there:
O’Reilly’s OnJava site hosts articles and tutorials. It doesn’t have forums for specific questions, but the articles are very good, so if you can find one that addresses your issues, you’re probably in good shape. As with most O’Reilly output, the content on this site has depth and clarity not found elsewhere:
The Usenet group comp.lang.java is very good, but like most general Usenet groups, the traffic is very high, so even with a good signal/noise, it takes a lot of time to even skim it regularly.
Thanks for the links. I haven’t been to the jguru page so maybe that will help me figure some things out.
