Back in August 1999 Nortel Networks hired me to do configuration ma-
nagement for its NISA project, that involved C++ and Java applications
on Unix and Windows NT platforms. I had had no previous exposure to
Java, so I bought a book on the subject, the SIMS book _Teach Yourself
Java 2 in 21 Days_, and read it cover to cover, assuming that would be
sufficient to help me with my job.
Since then when I've read job descriptions I've discovered that
there are a lot of Java-related skills that employers are looking for
that weren't covered in the book, like J2EE, JSP, Java Beans. The
book talked about Swing, but didn't get into much detail.
Is there some place on the Internet where I could go to learn
about these missing pieces of the Java language? Should I buy another
book, and if so, which book? Any information anyone can give me on
this would be greatly appreciated.
