[edit] About

[edit] Seam

I've been working with Seam recently (teaching myself) and figure that I could help others as well making a manual of sorts as I go along. I started one over at the JBoss Wiki, but their default syntax (CamelCase) is just brutal to work with. Any objections to having its root at Seam? Oberiko (talk) 03:07, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Interesting, I thought that the front-end should be separated from the back-end(EJB). I don't know how Seam is doing the integration, I'll check it out. Thanks. Ervinn (talk) 20:37, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Editor

I just took a Java class this quarter, kind of fell in love with programming it, and decided to start adding some content to this book. Just thought I'd introduce myself! - Ceclauson (talk) 05:30, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Welcome Ceclauson, I think your contributions could be valuable for this book. I have been away from this WikiBook for a while but since I see that this needs proper clean-up, I'd love to assist you in writing this book. You can as well talk on my project page regarding content you want to add to this book and how you'd love to structure it. I would be more than grateful. Arunreginald (talk) 02:29, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Questions about licences and screenshots

I added some screenshots to a page I did on swing (an I think it looks pretty good), but I think there are some copyright issues with the images, and that they'll be deleted unless this can be fixed. Does anyone know anything about this who can help?

[edit] Conventions

Some conventions would suit the book, so here comes a proposal, to be edited as you see fit.

Convention Statement Note
Source code tag Java source should be entered using <source="java">..</source>
Level of indentiation The level of indentation of Java examples should be 3.

These should help those editors who would like to stick to them. --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Model Wikibook

It would be nice to have some model Wikibooks, from which to learn.

Model Printable version Size Note
C++ Programming PV Quite extensive.
Ada Programming PV Is a featured book.

Please add your candidates or comment on the linked ones. --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:37, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] How do I start a new wikibook?

How do I suggest a new book in wikibooks, such as:

1. "Introduction to Computer Science, Using Java".

2. "Data Structures and Algorithms in Java". etc.

[edit] Transwiki:Java syntax

You may be interested in cleaning that up and including it as Java Programming/Syntax or something.  — Mike.lifeguard | talk 20:08, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ready To Contribute!

Hi, my name's Beau, know Java and the most used APIs inside-out, and am ready to contribute. BeauMartinez (talk) 19:15, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] merge

I suggest merging The way of the program into Java Programming. As far as I can tell, both books have exactly the same scope (Java programming) and target audience (people that don't know any programming language yet). --DavidCary (talk) 05:05, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Well to be honest it mentions other programming languages and has one chapter in Java. Maybe the chapter on Java can be merged with the Java Programming book, and then new chapters can be written for C, C++, FORTRAN, and other languages mentioned in the book. The way I see it, this book was written for programming like a computer scientist in general, and then included a chapter on Java. Most likely because most college programming classes use Java as an example (When I took computer science we used Turbo Pascal, and then later Turbo C, and then other colleges use Visual BASIC or GNU C++, but now it seems to be Java because it is platform independent and it runs in web browsers via the Java plugin, etc.) The O'Reilly Headstart series seems to default to Java as well for the same reason in teaching how to start out in programming.

Does not seem to cover the same ground, so I don't see the point... --Alainr345 (talk) 19:36, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned pages

The following pages are orphaned and not linked to by any page of this book. Please link to them, merge their content and label them with {{now merged|destination page}}, or if they are not needed add {{delete|reasoning}} to them.
