JavaRanch
JavaRanch has been one of the largest online communities for over a decade now. Lead by Paul Wheaton, we pride ourselves in being the friendliest place for programming greenhorns. Users in our forums come to learn things rather than find quick answers to questions and be done with it. Our forums encourage healthy discussions on a wide area of topics, mostly programming but not limited to that. Our users range from new programmers to many well known and respected people from the software industry. Visit us, register and be part of the friendly JavaRanch family!
