Java
A Brief History Of Java

http://smoke.thepipe.com/java.html

As the site name implies, this is a concise guide to the Java programming language. Although you can come away with a nice little applet (the ubiquitous "Hello World" program), you should use this as a launch pad to other sources of documentation on Java.

It still is the premier site devoted to Java applets, and includes a number of directory categories for applets, including arts and entertainment, educational, publications, special effects, and more. If you want to view a Java applet, visit this site first. It probably has what you're looking for.

Making Sense of Java

Is Java easy to use? Will Java replace C++? Will Java save planet Earth from alien invasion? Except for the last question, you can get the real lowdown on Java from a Silicon Graphics developer evangelist at this site. This is not a tutorial site, but it does counter some of the claims presented in the press and misunderstandings about Java.
