WikiJava:Tutorials

From WikiJava

There is no need to worry about accidentally damaging WikiJava when adding or improving information, as other editors are always around to advise or correct obvious errors, and WikiJava's software, known as MediaWiki, is carefully designed to allow easy reversal of editorial mistakes.

Another very important way to learn with the WikiJava site is the tutorial.

You could write, improve, and read tutorials to the up-to-date Java technologies.

When you are writing a tutorial always try to keep it simple, straight to the point, and remember to follow the basic rules: you could only write in this site code that you own, or code you have the rights to publish and edit.

Simple easy to remember rules:

• always remember to talk towards a normal-willed programmer, don't understate this statement (i.e. avoid garbled, non-commented code, favour simple english and simple coding style)
• even if probably you try to forget it, programmers are humans, they could fail, so try to repeat difficult passagies from different point of view
• divide and conquer: try to make the programmer visualize in his/her mind the whole point of your tutorial, and then write every single point
• every tutorial should have clear images and straight-to-the-point examples, and some more complicated stuff, to show the broader advanced uses of the technology

Happy learning!
