Compilation of Java Guides and Resources

For the Java programmers, this may make it easier to navigate around and find the resources you need.
Use the shortcut Ctrl + F to find what you need, or you can scroll down through the categories and see. If you can't find what you need here, the Search button is your best friend.

Please suggest more guides to make this a bigger compilation.
Use this format:

Code:

[b]Title[/b]:
[b]Link[/b]:
[b]Author[/b]:
[b]Type[/b] (Source/Video/Tutorial/etc):

I also posted a similar compilation like this on HF, but this is only external links.

Thanks.

What is Java?

Quoting Wikipedia:
Java is a programming language originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (which is now a subsidiary of Oracle Corporation) and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode (class file) that can run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. Java is general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, and object-oriented, and is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere". Java is considered by many as one of the most influential programming languages of the 20th century, and widely used from application software to web application.
