Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

Welcome to the JDJ Forum
Welcome to the JDJ Forum

The Web is full of resources for Java. There are applets, code samples and FAQs everywhere and several free tutorials. But when it comes to getting a simple question answered, there are not many options:

  • Usenet: You can always post your questions on the Usenet news group, which now boasts 13 subgroups under the comp.lang.java main group. However, the free-for-all' kind of Usenet culture can overwhelm some people, especially if you are a newbie.
  • Mailing Lists: There are also some mailing lists to which you can subscribe and get the messages in the discussion sent to you in the form of e-mail. This is great, I guess, if you have the ability to correlate the questions and answers into some kind of a thread!
  • Java Developer Connection (JDC): Sun Microsystems Inc. provides a variety of resources for developers at JDC, which includes a Developer Forum. But this is a scheduled chat type of forum, rather than a threaded discussion forum.
  • Mentor: You can pick up the phone and call your good friend!

    Now, SYS-CON Interactive offers the JDJ Forum, where all you need is a standard browser to get access to many dream features in a discussion forum:

  • Read the entire thread in one page (not one message at a time)
  • Search the topics and message bodies
  • Spell check your messages before posting.
  • ...and many more

    The URL of the JDJ Forum is:                                                                                                   .http://www.sys-con.com/java/board.htm

    Access is free; however, we do ask you to register initially. You are also welcome to come in as a guest, without registration, to view the forum. And we have plans for a Team JDJ to ensure that you get a speedy response to all of your questions on Java.
