I've written a java getting-started tutorial, where would be a good site to post it for checking?

Question

Hi all,

For our company's internal training, I'm writing a java getting-started tutorial. This will go all the way from installing eclipse through to writing a working demo application with Struts, Hibernate, Sitemesh, and Sql server.

Now, admittedly i'm new to Java (although have good c# experience) - where would be a good site to post it for checking? I'm thinking it may have some value to the community as a ground-up getting started tutorial, so if one of the sites has people willing to check that i'm not violating some best practices, i'd be willing to let it be published as a tutorial.

Cheers

Also, when getting people to check the first cut, shall i simply supply the code, or the whole tutorial?

Here's the first cut of the tutorial:

In the end, neither dzone or javaranch gave any answers: the best help came from the coding reddit.

Answer 1

the people in JavaRanch are really nice, they might help you with that

Answer 2

Speaking as a programming blogger, in response to Ben S's answer, I can tell you that the programming reddit (or "proggit" as it is affectionately known) is not the right place for a getting started tutorial. In fact anything that involves actual code, unless it's doing something "cool" (eg running Commodore 64 games on an Iphone, deep space telemetry on a vending machine or anything of mainly novelty value) then proggit readers just aren't going to be that interested. All in all, I find the community as a whole (individuals of course vary) to be mean-spirited and self-important.

This lack of actual programming content has prompted some to set up a new reddit (coding) but that's not really gaining any real traction (audience) yet.

The right place for tutorials and the like, in my experience, is DZone. It is much more code-oriented than proggit (which itself is basically a cesspool for wannabees of the far more interesting Hacker News). DZone can reliably deliver an audience of 500-2000 reades (which is less than the 10-20k+ for a successful post on proggit or HN can deliver) but you'll probably get a much better response.
