Several sites deal specifically in Java resources from the official Sun Java Site to independent developers. This appendix lists the major Java resources on the Net. There are certainly more pages out there then can listed here, so please keep in mind that these resources are only starting points. ### Java Sites There are too many sites on the Internet dedicated to showcasing Java applets. They range from large commercial sites, to smaller individual sites. You should always go ahead and perform searches to find the most complete information regarding Java sites, but there are a few standard sites that are dedicated to providing Java info which are large enough, and well established and worth mentioning here. These are the same sites we’ve discussed in detail in Chapter 5, listed here with the major site URLS. These three major Java sites (JavaSoft, Gamelan, and JARS) on the Internet are described in the following sections. #### Sun’s Java Site: Javasoft The Sun Javasoft site is the official Java site on the World Wide Web. Here you can find developers' information, examples, tutorials, and other types of offical release information. This is an invaluable Java site:
