Because so much of the Java phenomenon was originally inspired by its use on
web pages, a large number of websites focus on Java and Java programming.

This book’s official website is http://www.java24hours.com and is described fully
in Appendix C, “This Book’s Website.”
Café au Lait
Elliotte RustyHarold, the author of several excellent books on Java pro-
gramming, offers Café au Lait, a long-running weblog covering Java news,
product releases, and other sites of interest to programmers. The site is a ter-

related to Java. Updates have been infrequent since he began an overhaul of
the site, but it may have been relaunched by the time of this writing.
