Java Programmers FAQ Link broken?

[John Muir]

The link to Java Programmers' FAQ by Peter van der Linden)
http://www.afu.com/javafaq.html
seems to be broken.

All the links from the TOC get redirected to http://weblogs.java.net

Anyone know why?

Anyone know why?

The link is broken for quite a while now. Peter has most likely lost
interest in maintaining it, or Sun no longer wants to provide the space
to host it.

Roedy Green is in contact with Peter regarding some other issues. Maybe
Roedy can ask him what is going on (I know, I suggested that before).

Just a suggestion... when posting a link to an article on Google, you
should select "View this article only" from the thread view, and then
remove attributes other than "selm". The resulting URL in this case is:

http://groups.google.com.au/[email protected]

Much easier to manage, IMHO (with an unusually honest H).

Oh yeah.. was being lazy..

(shrugs) Much easier still, IMlO* to be lazy and
whack '<' '>' round the loung URL.. ;-)

His book Just Java is due out in a week in time for JavaOne. He has
not responded to my inquiries about the FAQ.

The book should be great. I gave Peter hundreds of suggestions to
improve it, and he says he is implementing nearly all of them.

I gather the book pretty is much the same as his old one with new
chapters on enum and generics where I pounded him to make sure it was
accessible to the beginner.


It is works by simple examples, gradually adding complexities. It
does not cover everything, but certainly enough to get you well
started.

At least *I* understood it.
