[ajug-members] JavaSpec - A new site about Java language fundamentals

[Gunnar Hillert]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to pass on the following information -

Several days ago we received an Email from Doug Dunn, the author of Java 
Rules (2001) and Java Rules, Volume 2 (2003), about the launch of his 
latest project - the Java fundamentals wiki at http://JavaSpec.org/.

Doug Dunn: "My work on Java fundamentals at the now defunct 
www.javarules.com has been part of the Java scene since 1996. 
Addison-Wesley published the first six chapters of my work in 2001, and 
some of my work has appeared in the /Java Developer's Journal/. The 
whole story is at About JavaSpec.org 
<http://javaspec.org/wiki/JavaSpec.org:About>."

"By the way, Neal Gafter, who as I am sure you know worked on the javac 
compiler while at Sun, became the first JavaSpec.org donor..."

Well, Doug is making his work about the fundamentals of Java available 
for free and as the wiki grows, it looks like a very valuable resource 
not only for anybody learning Java but also for anyone looking for Java 
reference information.

There is also small article about this project at Java Lobby:

Cheers,
