Sample Java Code

Java source-code examples can be found in Examples . A good way to learn a new programming language is to "play & fiddle" with source code examples. That is,

download any example
compile it
run it
alter it slightly
predict what it will do now
re-compile
re-run
start over with 4. ...
start over with 1. ...

and yes do not forget to write your own examples from scratch.
