That's no longer necessary. With the release of the JavaHelp software by Sun Microsystems, Inc., there is a complete and standard online help system for the Java platform. "No software application is complete without documentation. And with an expanding number of applications being written in Java, there is an ever-increasing need for a Java-based help system--a help system that can work seamlessly with Java applications. "JavaHelp fulfills this need," says Kevin Lewis, author of the just-released "Creating Effective JavaHelp" (O'Reilly, $29.95). "I think JavaHelp is at a critical turning point. I've heard of recent Java developer conferences where Java developers claim to have never heard of JavaHelp. I'm afraid to ask what these companies are using for an online help system. Sun has created online documentation that is easy to author, easy to use, and, best of all, fully functional across all computer platforms. It's about time." Effective, instantly-available online help is a requirement for today's interactive applications. "Creating Effective JavaHelp" shows you how to create a basic JavaHelp system, prepare help topics, and deploy the help system in your application. Aimed at all levels of Java developers and technical writers, the book takes a chapter-by-chapter approach to building concepts. It will give you a complete understanding of how to create usable JavaHelp systems and integrate them into Java applications and applets. For more information about the book, including Table of Contents, index, author bio, and samples, see: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/creatingjavahelp/ Chapter 5, Creating HelpSet Data and Navigation Files, is available free online at: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/creatingjavahelp/chapter/ch05.html For more information about Sun's JavaHelp, see: http://java.sun.com/products/javahelp/ For a cover graphic in jpeg format, go to: ftp://ftp.ora.com/pub/graphics/book_covers/hi-res/1565927192.jpg A piece Customizing Navigation Icons in JavaHelp is available at: http://java.oreilly.com/news/javahelp_0600.html # # # Creating Effective JavaHelp By Kevin Lewis 1st Edition June 2000 1-56592-719-2, 200 pages, $ 29.95 (U.S.$s) order@oreilly.com 1-800-998-9938 http://www.oreilly.com From tbc at netbox.com Tue Jun 20 18:24:53 2000 From: tbc at netbox.com (Tim Chambers) Date: Thu Aug 5 00:17:49 2004 Subject: O'Reilly Offering Discount to Convention Message-ID: <007901bfdb0e$bf6bc780$3f30740f@jackshpc.col.hp.com> Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2000 11:41:07 -0700 (PDT) From: Denise Olliffe Message-Id: <200006201841.LAA18145@rock.west.ora.com> Subject: O'Reilly Offering Discount to Convention I have some great news to pass on to your group...

How about someone talking about Beowulf clusters? Anyone in the area done anything with those? I can't make the meeting this month so it's just an idea that came to mind. Another topic of interest may be Java development under Linux. Java is supposed to be "write once, run anywhere" but is it "write once, compile anywhere?" I tried to get a professor to answer this for me, but she could not grasp the different between execution of software and compilation of software.
