Are there any good Java blogs around?

Question

My news reader is full of good web development blogs but I would really like to have some good quality Java blogs to read.

I'm sure they must exist so can anyone help me out?

Answer 1

Hi Sirbastian, I took a look at what I am reading for java blogs and came up with this list

Java Weblogs is a great place to start, lots and lots of java specific blogs.

Evan Summers not posting very frequently.

James Gosling Father of Java, but the blog is not technical, he is mostly involved with Real-Time Java now.

John Reynolds more general programming/business type stuff

Answer 2

These are more news-oriented sites, but may still be what you want:

• InfoQ - Enterprise software development site. You can get a customized feed just for Java technologies. I really enjoy the presentations and interviews they post.
• Javalobby - Java developer site. For me it's more hit-and-miss, but worth checking out.

Answer 3

I can recommend DZone, which is basically Digg for Software Development. I subscribed to the Java Tag and there are a lot of good articles coming through DZone.

Answer 4

http://javablogs.com/ is another blog aggregation site.

Answer 5

In addition to the blogs listed in the replies(above), there's also a very good Java podcast that you might want to subscribe to. It's called JavaPosse.

They talk about latest developments in all things Java( J2EE, J2ME etc ).

Answer 6

In no particular order and I'll try to not repeat any previously mentioned. I've noticed that most blogs have been 'consumed' by news sites. So you will be in good shape if you grab the feed from 3-4 of these aggregators rather than piecing them together one by one.
