Java

Download the Java SDK
Java Language Specification
Online Java 7 API docs
Java 7 API docs downloads
Java Standard Library Source
Java Code Conventions - Sun/Oracle's official code conventions for Java. They're not perfect, and parts are dated (like the advice on make files), but most professional Java teams use these conventions. (Note: the official style guide for this course is on T-Square. The CS 1331 style guide on T-Square is a nice concise distillation of Sun's conventions.)

Guides

Text Editors - an intro to text editors for beginning programmers
Basic Unix and Emacs - a tutorial introduction to Unix and Emacs that will give you the basic skills you need for this class should you choose to use a unix-like operating system like Ubuntu Linux or Mac OS X
Basic Unix and Vim - same as Basic Unix and Emacs but using Vim instead of Emacs
Java 7 on Mac OS X - follow this guide if you have a Mac.
