Website Advice...

[memyselfandi]

I am a Java developer and I would like to find some useful websites that may provide a way of finding out about new technologies within the Java arena.

I currently look at sites such as The Register, Sun etc, but was wondering if anybody can suggest any others.

Cheers.

I have zero knowledge of Java but can offer you a couple of tips for finding sites -

First, as I'm sure you're aware, there's http://technorati.com/ - use the search bar at the top, but change from searching for posts for searching for blogs.

Second, try http://www.similarsites.com - bang in the URL of a Java related site and it will bring up a site of other related site. It's surprisingly good.

I find DZone a good source of what's 'hot' in the Java world and development in general.

JRoller is decent source of Java-related blogs.

TheServerSide and InfoQ have been around a while but I find them a bit boring these days.

I also check out the Java questions on StackOverflow to see what people are stuck on. Most questions are basic ones asked by Bob and his mates but there are occasional interesting questions on an esoteric subject.

Thanks for the advice. Got some reading to do now.

www.similarsitesearch.com is a better for finding similar websites.
