Ian Darwin: Sun Java™ Page

Java

Java is Sun's portable object-oriented computing language that has brought its benefits into mainstream computing. One of its main benefits is portability; compiled Java programs do not have to be re-compiled to run on different platforms. Others include its object orientation and its large library of APIs (libraries) that are almost as portable as the language itself.

Ian Darwin is a Sun Certified Java Programmer and Sun Certified Java Web Component Developer, and the author of several textbooks and courses on Java. The Java Cookbook provides information on using Java effectively for those who already know the language. Checking Java Programs covers a number of tools that perform additional code verification on Java software.
