Big disappointment over Java programming magazines I used to read
I started learning Java as soon as it came out in 1995. I built up a set of resources like magazines and web sites, that I could use to learn to keep up with it.
Unfortunately, Java journalism is not what - or at least where - it used to be.
My two favorite magazines back in the day for a while were Java World and Java Report. Today, I found the Java Report site was down. Last night, I found the Java World site was more like a blog than the rich, stunning, program/tutorial packed magazine it used to be.
One of my Java magazine links is still great, though - Eclipse Developer's Journal. It has many fresh articles with useful, instructive information, lots of illustrations - just like the others were in the old days.
