Noone ever truly writes a book alone. This tutorial relies heavily on Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie’s The C Programming Language, one of the alltime classics of computer language manuals.
The presentations at the first Java Day in New York City were crucial to getting my understanding of Java off the ground, especially those of Bill Joy and Frank Greco.
The eventtutor applet, flying lines applet and Mondrian applets are taken in spirit if not in code from Dave Mark and Cartwright Reed’s Macintosh Programming Primer.
Finally I’d like to thank Olivia Whiteman, Dave Fisco, Tim Arnold and all the other Java Invaders for putting together forums in which I could learn more Java.
